REPLAY LIVE STREAM: from Tokyo on December 31, as people gather for New Year’s Eve celebrations at the city’s oldest Sensoji Temple. Traditional bell-ringing ceremony at midnight – joya no kane – marks the passing of the old year and the welcoming of a new one. On the New Year’s Day, believers strive to participate in the hatsumode – act of visiting the temple’s shrine to receive good luck and fortune for the new year.
