17. New Years Cards - see above - AIC link - The Gutai artists utilized nengajo (年賀状) or nenga-hagaki (年賀はがき), which translates to new year’s postcards, for their mail art. The Japanese custom of sending written new year’s greetings dates back to at least the Heian era (794–1185) when the nobility began writing to people who lived too far away for face-to-face greetings.  When Japan’s postal service introduced postcards in 1871, they were the perfect medium for these messages that required only the text “Happy New Year” alongside one’s name and address. The tradition has been preserved since then and has become one of the most common new year’s celebrations throughout the history of Japan.
18. Find cheap prices on furniture etc. link. From Cool Tools. I recently discovered Spoken.io, a website that reveals the practice of "white-labeling" in the furniture and home decor industry. White-labeling is when the same generic product is sold by multiple retailers under different brand names and prices. Spoken.io tracks items from over 100 stores, making it easy to compare prices for identical products across retailers like West Elm, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel. The price differences can be substantial, so if you're furnishing a home, it's worth checking out to ensure you're getting the best deal.
