http://www.euronews.net/ Japanese business leaders have been making their tradition annual new year visit to pray at a shrine in Tokyo which is considered to be lucky for business.

Amid concerns about the global economy and Europe's debt problems, the ancient Kanda Myoujin shrine is braced for more visitors than usual; 110,000 each day where they pray to Ebisu, the Japanese god of commerce.
