Pictures I want to share of interesting Japanese customs that may not be familiar to people from other countries. Well, of course, many of the diretories in this online album are about interesting Japanese customs (like Kevin's School in Japan), but these are things that don't fit in other categories, or that I especially want to highlight.
Japanese doll festival or Girls' Day is the first part of March. To mark the occassion, grandparents must buy their newborn granddaughters a set of dolls! The smallest sets run about $350 USD (2007 rates) or 39999 yen. The more expensive and elaborate sets include a full court of royal servants and all the accoutrement, and they run between $800 and $1000 USD.
