Japanese New Year’s Card 2012 – (3)

As the New Year is coming only ten days  time,  Nippon Yubin (Japan Post) and many

Sites started to show free New Year’s Card design  🙂

(Though, some are too keen to use it as a tool for their business promotion, it is not necessary straight forward,

such as Japan Post’s images are now in [png] not easy jpeg  (you can tinker in Photoshop) as they expecting

the user to compose the image in their format — still, you may go to their site direct and download the image,

from their 3,000 image collection ! —— (but,  it’s in Japanese !)

Japan Post’s site ; —– 　http://www.yubin-nenga.jp/index.html

And, following are from the Canon’s site = Yes, Canon of  camera and the printer !

With the clout of the global company, they are generous and the design quality is pretty high.

Their site is ;  —-  http://cp.c-ij.com/ja/event/nenga/index.html  —– (there are hundreds of samples !)

 

———————————————————————————————————————————

Powerful Calligraphy above is the character [龍／Dragon], —- ( never mind the rest = all saying ” Happy New Year “)

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Here,  he is saying ” Glad, we got happy new spring  🙂 ” ————–(right) [Kyoga-shin-nen] = Happy New Year.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmMMMMMMMMMM

In the old Moon calender, New Year was about February = beginning of the spring, hence the right one

is saying  ” Congratulate the Early New Spring”.

————————————————————————————————————————

Above left says ” Akemashite Omedetou-Gozaimasu” —————- (right) ” Shinshun” = New Spring.

= Congratulate for having New Year.

Three plants images are  Pine, Bamboo and Plum (松，竹，梅) as they are regarded to be auspicious.

Another Japanese site is Epson, though, to download the sample image, it seems necessary to register.

So, have a fun to look around and create nice Card.

Japanese New Year’s Card 2012 (1)

Observing the search terms which the readers has expected to find here and typed,  indicates, quite a lot of

people are expecting to see the Japanese New Years Card design. —– in effects, it is

the customer’s feed-back, data for a market research for a blogger.  😀

Well well, a humble Zennist Yoshizen is here to serve,  as the charity is in our duty.    Ha ha ha  😀

[]

Though, I couldn’t find the same in the Japan Post’s site this year, or it might be too early.

Instead, I found those free sample image by Googling  in Japanese writing.  The images came from ;

http://www.nenga-juunisi.net/frame-menu.html

( ### Free though, use the image other than personal  New Year’s Card was prohibited by their  Copyright)

—– If anybody is searching in the Net, my advice is NEVER go to so-called Free design site such as

[Mywebsearch] which is offering free card design = if you click their [Downlord], what comes to your PC is

not the design sample but a blatant Trojan-horse which spy and send out all of your Web-log.

How blatant is, it shows you [Terms and Condition] which says “You agree with us to send the data to the third

party” though, there is no click button for you to say [Yes] or [Not Agree] = they start their spy activity at once.

Even if this is nothing but a Trojan-horse = Malware, still,  a person clicked [Down lord] and clicked [Yes] to

agree the program goes into the Hard Drive (believing it is a design sample)  Security Program can’t work.

—– and to remove this Malware, lots of works was needed.  ( their hidden program changes the setting of

such as [Favorite] of starting task, their front page was kept coming back = needed to reset the start

menu —– what a hell. )   In comparison, the Japanese is only fraction of the English speaking population

and the spied data in Japanese is hard to utilize = very few Malware is infesting their site.

Those card designs (in JPEG)  are supposedly [Click and Save] then email as an attachment or for print out

for snail-mail though, I haven’t tested it myself —– I hope, should no instruction in Japanese comes with.  😀

By the way,  why the title  got  – – -2012 (1) is,  – – -2012 (2) will coming soon = watch the space.
