Saketora - New Year 2023 Fukubukuro

At the beginning of each year, queues are here, there and everywhere on the streets in Japan. And the reason behind, is the launch of lucky bags from different kinds of shops. So why is it so popular that making it a 'New Year custom' in Japan?
'Lucky bags' are said to be owned by gods and filled with good lucks. In the Edo period, some department stores made use of this myth, putting goods into the bags and selling them at discounted rates, so that customers could "luckily" buy them at favourable prices. In addition, the lucky bags are filled with unknown random contents, so every purchase makes people feel surprised. And these make lucky bags popular in Japan for many years until now. In recent years, in order to let customers feel secure, many shops are providing lucky bags with the contents disclosed. Although it amay lack a sense of mystery, customers can make sure what they are going to have are something they want.
