In Japan, New Year's Eve traditions include the ringing of temple bells 108 times each, symbolizing the exorcism of
the 108 earthly desires for the hew year.
The
onoe-gama is a kettle shaped like a Korean bell, used to serve tea and symbolize this calendar-ending, bell-ringing purification during the New Year's tea ceremony,
joya-gama.
A pure, happy new year to you all!
