9. Intro In Japan there are many different Festivals celebrated throughout the year. They are mostly very traditional festivals based around religion. Cherry Blossoms Day The coming of the cherry blossoms is one of the happiest events in Japan. It means that Spring is coming and that the winters in Japan are very cold. The festival also has a more cultural meaning, tea ceremonies, traditional Japanese music or dance performances take place. Cherry blossoms are lit up at night during the festival. People can bring food to have a picnic under the cherry blossom trees. Japanese New Year Japanese New Years day is the most celebrated holiday in Japan.

11. In Japanese history family was very important. It was expected that the oldest son inherit the position of head of the house. The rest of the children were expected to leave when married. In modern Japan family is still important, but things have changed slightly. The head of the house is over, since children now choose their future jobs freely. Women are still the primary caretakers, however more Japanese women now have jobs and a family, In Japan children are raised to work hard and take education seriously. Also in most Japanese families the grandparents live with their family. 1920 Japanese Family Modern Japanese Family
