Japan's strange customs and abnormal Father's Day custom: a daughter needs to take a bath with her father
Tomorrow is the third Sunday in June, Father's Day in Japan. Today, Xiaobian tells you how Father's Day is celebrated in Japan.
Father's Day is very important in the minds of Japanese people, even more important than Valentine's Day. Many of us as children are always ashamed to say "I love you" to our fathers. On Father's Day, most Japanese children will reunite with their fathers. As their father's daughter, whether married or not, will do three things for their father. First, write a loving letter, read it in front of their father, and read it aloud to their father to thank their father for his birth and upbringing.
Maybe we will all send gifts to our father on Father's Day. Maybe we will call to take care of and say hello to our father, but do we know? In fact, my father does not lack food or worry about clothing. What they expect is the feeling of wild geese flying home. What they expect is that their children will be by his side listening to their chatter. The Japanese daughter can read her true feelings to her father on Father's Day. letter shocked me.
The second thing I did for my father may be unacceptable to us, and that was that my daughter would accompany my father to take a bath. Different cultures have different feelings. Japanese daughters feel that on Father's Day, giving their father a bath and rubbing his father's back with their own hands is also the way to give their father the greatest warmth.
After all, Japan's bathing culture has a long history, and bathing is a supreme enjoyment for the Japanese. In addition, Japan has a custom of mixing baths for men and women, so it is not so strange for a daughter to accompany her father in the bath. Bathing her father is to be the best choice for children.
A Japanese girl recalled: In the past, I had only given my father a bath and feet once. On the day of my father's last few months, I shouted "Dad, you are my good father" on the overseas phone. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, my father laughed excitedly and happily...
We have had countless hugging moments with our couples and our children, but we rarely hug our fathers. The third thing a Japanese daughter does is to hug her father deeply. Maybe this kind of hug will keep your father warm for a long time.
