4.6 billion U.S. dollars, (700 billion yen). This is the total economic impact brought about by Christmas in Japan in 2019, (according to the Japan Anniversary Association). To put it in perspective, this amount could fund the construction of three Yankee Stadiums in New York.

The unique culture of Christmas in Japan, a country not in the Christian sphere, is deeply ingrained. It includes traditions such as eating KFC chicken, enjoying special Christmas cakes, and spending time with a loved one in a hotel, all of which are distinctive practices of this season in Japan.

In this video, we will delve into (1) how Western Christmas was celebrated in the 16th century, an era of samurai, (2) the spread of Christmas as a commercial event in the early 20th century, (3) the post-war popularization of 'home Christmas', and (4) how Christmas transformed into an event for young couples in Japan.

So, as my Christmas present to all of you, please enjoy this video.
