Día de san Valentín en Japón (Valentine's Day in Japan)

On February 14, is a special day for Japanese girls. Why? Because is a day that gives them the opportunity to confess his love for the guy who truly love .

that day, girls give chocolates to boys. "Chocolate Gift" is an invention of a Japanese company famous candy called "Morozoff" in the 1930s.

For most of the girls who are 10 to 18 years old that day is very spatial. Since a few months earlier among girls to talk about the man gave her chocolate each, and what kind of chocolates, when, in what situations and where etc etc ... This conversation is very typical in this season.

Although this practice began the twentieth century, one might say that it is part of Japanese culture. The originality of "Valentine Day" in Japan I think is:

(1) Only gives chocolate (nothing else)

(2) Only woman to man (not vice versa)

(3 ) is considered as one day to confess love of women was

man (4) There is no religious

The Chocolate that is given to the guy who truly loves, is called " Honmei-Choco " ( 本命 チョコ ) . " Honmei " means "true" and "choco " means "Chocolate." You can provide only a "Honmei-Choco." The boy, receives and accepts the independent chocolate if you also love her or not. But a month later, on March 14, would have to declare their feelings. That day is called "White Day " (White Day) and is considered a compensation day "Valentine Day". When the boy wants to reject his love, gives him nothing, but when you accept it, gives him a box of candy.

The "Valentine Day" is a celebration of chocolate, love story, as the girls give chocolate to male friends also. Chocolate that is called Giri-Choco " ( 義理 チョコ )

. "Giri " means "Courtesy" is, the complimentary chocolate.

also good girls, they give chocolates to their father. But in most cases, are expecting a great gift for compensation on 14 March.

In the workplace, although naturally women no longer have 10 to 18 years old, it is customary to give chocolates to their male counterparts. And this custom becomes almost a "must", whether they are friendly or not, would have to give it away to get along with peers. In fact, on March 14, they will give away candy (or otherwise) to the colleagues, and are considered a form of "communication" in the world of work.

the past 10 years, the celebration of "Valentine Day" has changed a bit, and begin to treat yourself to chocolate among women (but not because they are lesbians!). This chocolate is called Tomo-Choc or ( 友 チョコ )

, "Volume" means friendship.

So in Japan, for years, say it consumes 20% of chocolate is normally consume in a year. A great deal for the candy companies ...

Sado (tea ceremony)

Today I will introduce one of the Japanese culture called " Sado " (茶道 さ どう) , known as the "tea ceremony" in many other countries. As the name implies, is a "ceremony" and not simply the preparation of a cup of green tea to drink.

same as " Ju of "," Ken of "o" Ka of "all sports or arts that involve the word " do " ("道" means the way ) requires training, study and constant practice to approach and understand this art. .

Although tea itself is a product that came to Japan from China in the seventh century, one can say that the Sado is a culture totally Japanese. The tea is used in Sado called " Matcha " (抹茶 まっ ちゃ) is not the same tea known as "green tea" abroad. The Matcha is a green tea ground into powder

literally Sado means the study of tea ceremony. There are several ways to celebrate the ceremony, and each ceremony has its own special name. Here I explain 2 of the most common of which is held:

(1) chaji (茶 事 ちゃじ)

" chaji "is a very private ceremony. Sometimes it is between only 2 people: host and guest.

In this case, the host serves a cup to the guest and the whole ceremony begins and ends with these two people. The duration may be an hour or more. At the ceremony talk about any interesting things to consider at the time, but only after tea, not during.

Another ceremony chaji , with several guests. In this case, the host prepares only a cup of tea and tea guests enjoy passing each other the same cup.

The chaji usually held after a meal called " Kaiseki-Ryori ( 懐 石 料理 かい せき りょうり ). Formerly Kaiseki-Ryori was a meal (or dinner) served host special guests before the ceremony. That is, the food and tea were given followed but in a different place forever. Today, you can take Kaiseki-Ryori without the desu chaji .

There is also a special ceremony tomorrow called " Asa-no-chaji " (朝 の 茶事 あさの ちゃじ) night and a ceremony called " Yobanashi " (夜 咄 し よばなし) These two ceremonies were held without food.

The chaji held in a room called " chashitsu " (Shitsu tea tea room) . Todos los invitados se sientan en Seiza (emergency will sit) encima de un Tatami (tatami mats) . Seiza is a way to sit on the floor, bending your knees and buttocks resting on heels. The Tatami is a soil that is made of straw.

(2) was heard (大 寄せ おお よせ)

" was heard " (大 寄せ おお よせ) is a ceremony is celebrated with many guests. It looks like a Western holiday. Is usually held in a traditional Japanese garden, and is usually given for presentations: a new book, the promise of marriage or change of company directors etc. Guests can stand or sit in chairs, although the corners of the garden, there is also a Tatami in which people feel and do " chaji " individually, or at least two people.
