. Sanshin Day
White day comes around on March 14th
and is a chance for men to return the favor. Thi
is a relatively modern invention having started
1978 by a confectionary company on the groun
that men should have the chance to reciprocate
the gifts bought for them on Valentines day! Itnow common for men to buy gifts of chocolate
jewelry, white chocolate or white lingerie for th
special woman in their life. Theyre also
expected to give giri choco (inexpensive gifts
of chocolate) to female friends or co-workers
who may have bought them chocolate on
Valentines day.
White Day
March 4, marks the Sanshin Day in
Okinawa. Often said the embodiment of
the soul of Okinawa, the sanshin is a
plucked banjo like instrument. Although
sanshin was originally reserved for the
Ryukyuan nobility, it became the favoritof most commoners during the nine-
teenth century.
