In Japan, Christmas is celebrated similar to America minus the religious customs. They participate in gift giving, spending time with loved ones and dressing up in festive clothes.

Japanese Christmas, however, focuses more on the decorative side of the holiday. Each year there is an illumination event where over 6 million LED lights are spread across the hillsides and streets of Japan, illuminating it in color.

KFC fried chicken is a popular food to eat during Christmas in Japan. People would have to order their chicken in advance with how busy the fast food restaurants get.

​Making Japanese ink is a very long and tedious process. Because of this it very expensive, which is why Kakizome is such an important tradition.
