"New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings."

Fukubukuro is probably the most fun word you'll hear today. Bonus: it's also fun to say out loud.
One of the joys of following balloon artists around the globe is stumbling into cultural gems like this. Fukubukuro ("lucky bags") are how Japanese stores clear out inventory at the end of the year - with surprise gift bags full of mystery items and ridiculous discounts. Sometimes you get something practical. Sometimes you hit the jackpot. Either way, it beats the American equivalent of running with the bulls on Black Friday.
This balloon design was shown on the Creative Balloon Handmade YouTube channel - I thought the design looked interesting, like a bouquet of gold - curiosity got the best of me.
