When it comes to expressing love and appreciation, there's more to the calendar than just Valentine's Day.
Enter White Day, a delightful occasion celebrated in various parts of the world, with Japan being one of its most ardent enthusiasts of this special day.
Some of you may not be aware of White Day, so we wanted to help you explore its origins, delve into the art of celebrating it, and even find ways to weave the essence of this day into your bathroom rituals. So, here goes...
What is White Day?
White Day is a significant cultural event originating in Japan. It's a day when men reciprocate the gestures of love and romantic gestures they received on Valentine's Day from women.
The initial practice involved men giving white-coloured gifts like white chocolate, marshmallows, or even jewellery.
The tradition began in the 1970s, with the name "White Day" symbolising purity and innocence.
When is White Day?
Mark your calendars, White Day is celebrated annually and always falls on March 14th, exactly one month after Valentine's Day.
This strategic timing provides ample opportunity for those who received gifts on Valentine's Day to reciprocate the affection and express their feelings in return.
Global Reach
While White Day has its roots in Japan, and has become a popular celebration to Japanese people.
Its popularity quickly spread to a number of other Asian countries, most notably South Korea, Taiwan, and China in particular.
The concept has also begun to found resonance in Western cultures in recent years, albeit on a smaller scale so far. But what's to say that won't change?
