Old Japanese Christmas and Samurai Santa
An "account of a Christmas unknown to Westerners - and to most Japanese too! Including an amusing account of Santa dressed as a Samurai." This article follows the observance of Christmas in Japan from 1549 to the present day, with examples of "mirror customs of European traditions." Originally written in Japanese by a writer for the Felissimo Christmas Museum in Hokkaido, Japan.
