The origins of Valentine's Day in Japan can be traced back to a commercial marketing campaign run by a Japanese confectionery company in the 1950s. That particular advertisement featured women confessing their love to men while giving them chocolate, a gesture which later developed into the custom of women being the principal gift givers of chocolate and confectionery to the men in their lives on Valentine's Day.
Today, with a heightened awareness of gender equality and gender roles in contemporary society, Valentine's Day in Japan has undergone evolution and is increasingly seen as a chance to spend time with loved ones and share chocolate and confectionery with important people in your life as a sign of gratitude.

Browse items from this collectionNew Year, oshōgatsu, is a significant holiday in the Japanese calendar, a moment where families gather, eat osechi-ryōri (colourful, usually cold New Year dishes packed in jūbako, tiered boxes), reflect on the past year, and enjoy a few days of well-earned rest.
Some traditions revolve around welcoming toshigami (the Shinto deity of abundant harvest). This involves thoroughly cleaning the house, placing shimenawa at the entrance (rice straw decorations hung to signify where the deity has descended), and displaying kagami mochi (a stacked rice cake offering that serves as a dwelling place for the deity).
