March
March the 3rd is the Girl's Festival
in Japan.
Ornate displays of Japanese dolls are
brought
out on display
The 14th sees White Day. Valentine's
Day
involves girls giving presents, of usually
chocolates, to male friends and aquantences.
This gesture is returned on White Day,
where
boys give presents to these girls.
The end of March sees the end of the school
year. Final year primary, junior high and
senior high students have their graduation
ceremony and receive their certificates.
The events can get very emotional, and many
students often end up crying. They also sing
"Auld lang syne". Teachers and
public workers may also have to change their
place of work, often at very short notice.
