Shoppers jostle for New Year 'lucky bags' at department stores

TOKYO, Japan - Shoppers jostle for New Year ''lucky bags'' on sale on the first business day of the year at a department store in Tokyo's Nihombashi district on Jan. 2. About 5,000 people lined up at the Mitsukoshi Nihombashi store, which offered heavily-discounted ''lucky bags'' for 10,500 yen, while about 20,000 people waited outside the Ikebukuro main store of Seibu Department Stores before it opened for business. The New Year ''lucky bags'' usually contain merchandise sold normally at a much higher price. (Kyodo)
