Be my Valentine

pigsWhat's the meaning of this event? White Day, March 14, as opposed to Valentine's Day, is a completely Japanese event. While women give gifts to men on Valentine's Day in Japan, on White Day, men should return the favor and give gifts to women from whom they received gifts or chocolate, or to women in whom they are romantically interested.Are there objects associated with this event? Although White Day is not as big as St. Valentine's Day, many people still send various gifts. For White Day, cookies, candies or white chocolates are common instead of regular chocolates. There is a superstition among some young people that if someone gives you cookies, that means "I love you" candies mean "I like you" and white chocolate means "Let's be friends". Other gifts usually given along with food are jewelry, handbags, shoes, wallets, scarves, handkerchiefs, and stuffed animals. Some men, just as in America, give lingerie to their girlfriends.
