New Year’s Celebration: Oshogatsu

American New Year’s celebrations are now over, but many Asian ones are just beginning. Local children can enjoy them all in the fifth CelebrAsia NYC: New Year’s Festivities for Families, a three-month festival. The fun kicks off this weekend with Japan Society’s Oshogatsu, which will include taiko drumming (young people can take part in a practice session at 2 or 3 p.m.), lion dancing, rice pounding, kite making, top spinning and other traditional games.
