Why do you feel that Christmas in Japanese anime is so important?

In Japan, Christmas is an exotic festival. After all, less than one percent of the population believes in Christianity or Catholicism.

Because in the early days, Japan learned from the West, learned from the experience management technology of the West, and learned from capitalism, and gradually became a capitalist power, which also required learning from Western festivals?

The Christmas custom in Japan is mainly reflected in the consumption behavior in the city. Interestingly, when dealing with the topic of Christmas, their serious nationality is also revealed. In some ways, the Christmas feeling in Japan is stronger than that in foreign countries!

For example, they think that Christmas must have two symbols: Beethoven's ninth symphony and Christmas cake.

In the shopping malls in Japan, there is a romantic atmosphere: the classic Christmas song is playing, and it is arranged in a white space. Santa Claus can be seen distributing small gifts (sometimes promotional items) everywhere, and the windows are arranged like winter in northern Europe. Only warm merchandise gifts will warm you.

Large shopping centers or consumer places often have some triangular pyramid-shaped things called Christmas trees, which are sometimes record high or large to attract customers. It may also be made of special objects, such as soda cans, and then let customers guess the numbers.

These are the same as those in Hong Kong, but they go further than before. Creativity is often more attractive than the tradition of the festival itself, such as thousands of glass champagne cups? Christmas tree? There is a goldfish in each cup, so gorgeous that people can't help but admire it. Next year, there will be new Christmas tree ideas. Christmas creativity in Japan, like other commodities, will never follow suit and will always bring people new sensory enjoyment under a fixed coat.

Colorful themes are romantic. Exotic festivals and cold weather lead to a very common emptiness and loneliness in this city. The more prosperous it is outside, the more lonely it is compared with itself, and the more it needs foreign things to fill it. Sensory stimulation is the most convenient, intense and novel, and the essence of the festival is no longer important. At the same time, loneliness is reduced to emotional problems, and love seems to cure all diseases.

Followed by Christmas and the New Year, it emphasizes the function of connecting with family. In Japan, Christmas is more like Valentine's Day.
