Global celebrations mark Chinese New Year

Kentai Arai and Atsushi Shimizu, window cleaners dressed as a sheep and monkey, wipe the windows of the Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo while hanging 55.5 meters above ground on Dec 21, 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. This is an annual event where window cleaners dress up as Chinese zodiac animals from the present and the coming year to promote the New Year. 2015 was the Year of the Sheep, and 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.
