Japan for the Uninvited

Japanese culture from a bemused foreign perspective

White Day

The Japanese have a completely different take on Valentine’s Day, which is even more commercialised than in the West.

On February 14th, women give chocolate or presents to men. The greater the value of the gift, the more serious the girl is about having a relationship with the guy.

Exactly one month later, on “White Day”, lucky fellas get the chance to reciprocate. An amorous chap should spend at least 10 times what was spent on him if he wants any action.
