"Queuing up for their fortune cookies - but will fortune shine on Japan's economy this year?               Thousands of Japanese workers flocked to this Tokyo shrine on Friday praying for good luck in the coming year.               They cast money into a donation box in what is a yearly rite for many of the city's white-collar workers.               Expectations are high, with Japan's new prime minister Shinzo Abe promising to turn round the country's economic fortunes.
