初荷

１月５日にブログにアップしようと撮影してあった写真を遅まきながら本日アップします(^_^;
私は久々に「初荷」の旗を付けた車を発見しました。
以前はもっと見かけたような気がします。
The first shipment (初荷) is the first shipment of goods (products) from a logistics base, such as a factory or warehouse, to a dealer after the beginning of the year. Originally, it was sold on January 2 as well as the first sale, but today the first shipment of the New Year often occurs on January 4, when business is started at government offices and many companies. In the past, trucks with flags and banners labeled “First Load（初荷）” ran in the past, but are now almost gone due to safety on expressways.
