Schadenfreude Kagami Hebi and Sake Barrels

Happy year of the snake!  Japonica is celebrating the new year, and a snake has taken the place of the mochi in my kagami mochi 鏡鼠 this year.  The snake comes in or out of the tray, including a tray with a raised board underneath to show off the snake more (she's short!), wrapped around an orange, the offering tray 三方 and paper, together and separately are also included, 1 LI each piece.

And a new set of 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrels decorated for the new year, with a maneki neko and a snake version, a kumade (rake decorated with lucky symbols to rake in luck) in normal and snake version, zodiac clay bell, and a takehebi (a traditional bamboo snake of Toshigi Prefecture).  Stacks and single barrels, 1 to 2 LI each at about a standard 4-to 72 liter size of about .65 meters tall barrel, with extra shading options to choose from if you are picky in how you stack!  (There are versions of top and side shadow boxed so you can stack them on top of each other or next to each other and keep the shading they have in the particular stacks also.)  HUD texture all to your desires- set them all the same, choose individual labels to texture to exactly what you want, or let it randomize them for you with the mix button.  You can also mix HUDs from other sake barrel sets for more options, even in the same stack.

Sadly, this is the final round of Japonica, but 10 years is a good run!  I would love it if it comes back some day- it's one of my favourite events in SL- but for now, let's send it off with a grand celebration!

At Japonica, open December 25 at 8am SLT - January 21 at 8am SLT.
