Traditions Of The Country:

Christmas in Japan is celebrated a little differently than in other countries and some traditions are unique to the land of the rising sun. One of these is Christmas cake. The Japanese Christmas cake can be described as glorified strawberry shortcake. That means it starts with a sponge cake base, then comes the frosting: white, of course, and ideally made with fresh whipping cream. Fill & top with juicy strawberries and maybe a few strategically placed chocolates for effect.

Christmas was introduced in Japan by the Christian missionaries, and for many years the only people who celebrated it were those who had turned to the Christian faith. But now the Christmas season in Japan is full of meaning and is almost universally observed. The story of the Child Jesus born in a manger is fascinating to the little girls of Japan, for they love anything having to do with babies. In the scene of the Nativity they become familiar for the first time with a cradle, for Japanese babies never sleep in cradles. Many western customs in observing Christmas have been adopted by the Japanese.

Besides exchanging gifts they eat turkey on Christmas Day, and in some places there are even community Christmas trees. They decorate their houses with evergreens and mistletoe, and in some homes Christmas carols are sung gaily. In Japan there is a god or priest known as Hoteiosho, who closely resembles our Santa Claus. He is always pictured as a kind old man carrying a huge pack. He is thought to have eyes in the back of his head. It is well for the children to be good when this all-seeing gentleman is abroad. New Year's Day is the most important day of the whole calendar in Japan.
