Kanji(Chinese characters)

Chinese characters were originated in China. Then it was imported to Japan, and used by many Japanese people.
For that reason, the Sentence of ancient Japan was written only by the kanji.
Later in Japan, Hiragana and Katakana had been invented by ancient Japanese people, but Kanji is main component of Japanese sentence even now.

Each kanji has a meaning.
For example, "Bi" means "beauty", "Sei" means "success".
*Bi = 美, Sei = 成
 If you would like to have a kanji tattooed or goods of kanji, you should examine the meaning of it.

By the way, I'm dealing with such products.

Japanese Christmas

Almost all Japanese like Christmas.
They mainly regard Christmas Eve as the most important, and pass the day with those who love such as a family and a sweetheart.

However, the event doesn't almost have a religious meaning.
Although most is a Buddhist, they eat a chicken and a cake at Christmas and exchange presents.
Thus, in Japan, only the form of an overseas event is adopted in many cases.
St Valentine's Day is also mentioned to one of examples.
