new year
An image relating to the first day of the new year on the Gregorian calendar.
It's a tradition for many Japanese artists to celebrate the new year by drawing girls clad in expensive kimono, eating zouni soup, carrying hamaya (a Shinto ward against evil and bad luck) and playing hanetsuki.
Many artists also pay tribute to the Chinese zodiac by incorporating whatever animal corresponds to the year. It should be noted that the Chinese new year is not on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, but instead varies from one year to the next (falling in either late January or early February). The year of the horse, for example, begins January 31, 2014. Despite this, images utilizing the animal of an upcoming Chinese New Year tend to begin appearing around January 1, as Japan uses the same zodiac but does not use the Chinese Lunar calendar.
The typical way of telling if an image is celebrating the New Year is by the phrase 謹賀新年 (kinga shinnen, literally "happy new year") or by one or both of the more traditional greeting exchanges (shortened as akeome and kotoyoro). It is also common for New Year images to include Happy New Year in English text, and/or the number of the year. Text indicating a new year related image may also be absent from the image itself but present in Pixiv tags/artist commentary, website text, etc.

許多藝術家還通過融合了與當年相對應的任何動物來向中國十二生肖緻敬。應當指出的是，農曆新年不在格裏高利日曆的1月1日，而是從一年到下一年不等（1月下旬或2月初）。例如，這匹馬年初于2014年1月31日開始。盡管如此，使用即将到來的農曆新年的動物的圖像往往會在1月1日左右開始出現，因爲日本使用了相同的Zodiac，但不使用中國的月曆。
講述圖像是否正在慶祝新年的典型方法是通過短語謹賀新年（Kinga Shinen，字面上是“新年快樂”）還是通過一個或兩個更傳統的問候交流（縮短爲Akeome和Kotoyoro）。新年圖像在英語文本和/或年度數量中包括新年快樂也很常見。圖像本身也可能不存在指示新年相關圖像的文本，但在Pixiv标簽/藝術家評論，網站文本等中存在。
