White Day in Japan
Happy White Day Ladies *^_^*
In Japan, Valentine’s Day is celebrated February 14th and White Day is celebrated March 14th.
Generally Valentine’s Day is celebrated with romance and presents -mainly from men to women. In Japan, Valentine’s Day is the time women give men chocolates or cakes that they make and decorate themselves (but of course there is a HUGE variety of ready made things for purchase as well).
As a “thank you” or counter appreciation, the men give marshmallows or sweets to the ladies in March.
Of course it’s a brilliant marketing from the confectionery companies…..but with so many stunning delights available, I won’t complain!

I wish they would bring White Day overseas…it sounds nice!
I don’t think my boyfriend would appreciate chocolates – he’s more of a beer man….!
I agree – they SHOULD bring this overseas!
My friend in Japan a couple of years ago sent me chocolates. I was wondering why, and now I know!
I have learned something new today! It is very interesting to me!
