1 . For most people in the West, Valentine’s Day (情人节) is celebrated on February 14, but here in Japan it’s on March 14—exactly one month after Valentine’s Day—called White Day.
To really understand what White Day is all about, you have to understand what Valentine’s Day in Japan is like. Japanese Valentine’s Day is all about men getting presents. Japanese women are usually too shy to show their love, though it might not be true today. Valentine’s Day is a great chance to let women show their feelings. Does it sound good to you? Don’t get too excited when you get chocolate from Japanese girls! They give chocolate not only to their loved ones, but also to men such as bosses (老板) and male (男性的) friends. Men should return gifts to women on White Day.
On both days, chocolate is the gift of choice. More often, the colour of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. You can also buy flowers, candies, or cookies.
The Japanese first celebrated White Day in 1978. Now it is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan, China.
