Translator's Notes
* On the sign, bugyou 奉行 translates to "shogunate administrator" or "magistrate." It could be short for nabe bugyou 鍋奉行.
* Japanese nabe 鍋 (or maybe in this case, Chinese huǒ guō 火锅 AKA hot pot) is a cuisine where you have a pot of water/stock/soup simmering in the middle, and then people can throw in meat/veggies/whatever to cook on the table.
* A nabe bugyou is like the head of the table who makes themself responsible for making sure everything is cooked and served the proper way.
* Out of all the Asian Hetalia countries, only Japan doesn't celebrate the Lunar New Year. (China, Hong Kong, Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet, and Vietnam all do)
* Japan used to observe Lunar New Year, but stopped after 1873 (5 years after the Meiji Restoration) and began to celebrate the new year on January 1.
* My Japanese isn't good, so if you spot any mistakes, please let me know!
