Japanese Style- Maiko

In Japan, on new year's day, we get money called "Otodhidama" from our parents or relatives except one who already graduated from college or university. "Otoshidama" usually put a pouch which made for only for its purpose called "Potibuluro". Generally oldest one get more money than his or her younger brothers or sisters. Also parents who have children can get otoshidama from thier parents. In return sometimes they give it to parents thankful for. I think this is very interesting Japanese custom.
