St. VALENTINE'S DAY of Japan



It is the space for special events in Hankyu department store that is one of big department stores in Osaka. In addition, it is chocolate selling space for VALENTINE'S DAY.

Can you believe it? Every person is woman, eh? They are buying some valentine gifts for men, especially husband, boyfriend, company, or something like that. In Japan, women give the gifts to men on Valentine's day.

Actually most of Japanese are unchristian, so it means not related to any kind of event of Christian religion.

I think it has been just commercially-prepared event for long times in Japan, but the most important thing about Valentines day is the evidence of "catholic" spirit of Japanese. They accept not only the other cultures but also the other religion. If people all over the world behave like them, we don't need any kind of fights. It will contribute to peaceful life.
