It was an old custom in Japan to visit acquaintances,
teachers and relatives at New Year's.  After postcards
were issued early in the Meiji period, people began
sending a greeting on a card, and the Nengajo of today
became established.

Nengajo are handled differently from ordinary mail.
All the cards put into special boxes at the post office
between 18 and 28 are delivered together on New Year's Day.
