Year of the Tiger ushers in 1986 in Japan
Tokyo reports that Japan begins 1986 with the Year of the Tiger, the third in the twelve year zodiac cycle. The tiger appears on cards ads and toys as New Year celebrations start January 1. It replaces the Year of the Ox and marks a shift from the ox’s tranquil image. Unlike many Asian nations, Japan celebrates New Year on January 1 rather than on the lunar calendar.
