Omisoka, celebrated on December 31st in Japan, marks the transition from the old year to the new one. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Shinto traditions, which emphasize purification and renewal. Families engage in various rituals, including cleaning their homes and preparing special foods, to welcome the new year with a fresh start. The night culminates in a series of ceremonies, including the ringing of temple bells, symbolizing the release from the past year's troubles.
