White Day 14th MArch

There is a rather strange Japanese custom on March 14th, one-month after Valentine’s Day .

It is called “White Day” and it is the day that a man who has received a gift from a woman on Valentine’s Day gives her a gift in return.

I think the idea is very Japanese. By the way, what would be a nice gift for women?

According to research, the most popular item on White Day is a necklace. A ring, a handkerchief, a bouquet of flowers and a stuffed animal are among the top five.

I guess there is something universal about catching a woman’s heart.

However, some might be puzzled about a handkerchief being ranked so high, but there are so many beautiful handkerchiefs available in Japan and Japanese women like to collect them.
