Looking Forward

Every year in early December, Ikuta Shrine unveils a painting for the new year. Next year will be the Year of the Dog in the Chinese zodiac. The dog is the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac and people born in the Year of the Dog are honest, friendly, faithful, straightforward, venerable and have a strong sense of responsibility. If you were born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994 or 2006, then you are a dog.
