Halloween In Japan 2012
Wassup Everyone,
I hope you all had a safe Halloween.
I rolled out to Yokohama with my homies, Yo-Hey and Naoto. Check out the photos!
Everyone has been asking me about Halloween in Japan. What is it like? How do they celebrate? I guess it’s because of the influence we’ve taken from Japan for Horror movies.
Being that it’s a holiday based on western religious history, Halloween in Japan is pretty much nonexistent unless you in one of the larger cities. Parents or Schools who want their kids to participate in the Holiday, might organize a Halloween Party amongst their friends or co-workers. At this party kids will eat Halloween Cake (pumpkin cake), get candy, etc. All the Halloween cliches.
As for Adults, Many will dress up during the week and walk though the social areas of the city showing off their costume, and go to a Halloween themed club/party.
More or less it’s just as surface as the current Halloween is in the US. The only difference is that less people celebrate it.
