White Day


Tenshi 
March 14, 2016



On this day, White Day is celebrated in Japan!! It somewhat reciprocates Valentine's day, on 14. February, girls usually give "courtesy chocolate" and "chocolate of love" to boys, while one month later, boys are supposed to return the favor. Common gifts include white candy, chocolate, marshmallows, jewellery, white lingerie... The custom is slowly spreading westward as well.




Exactly one year ago, a friend of mine, Uzume and I had a White Day themed Vocaloid photoshoot. As we needed photos ready for March 14th, we had to have the photoshoot at least a week after. It was freezing cold, around 4 degrees Celsius outside, yet we had to wear light spring clothes and bear with it.
I guess it was worth it!

Tenshi ,
@LadySelene I believe this White Day thingy is something Japanese started to balance out the already strange Valentines day western custom they imported. As for the color white, indeed, in the far East it does represent mourning, but also purity and lightness. Again, thanks to western influence, the color lost this negative connotation primarily in Japan and modern China, while, as far as I know, India and rural parts of China still hold white for the color of absence of everything, and therefore suitable for mourning. @Tumang Glad you think so! And yeah, I think we made a good couple, since I'm kinda tall for a girl, and she's super tiny. :D

Japan, even "the love day" is the day when guys get gifts... Feminist in me is enraged! And one more question: Isn't white a color of sadness in Asia?
