    On February 14th in many societies boys give girls presents on what is known as St. Valentine's Day, but in Japanese society later in the year girls give boys a reciprocal present. Can you tell me the name of this day and what is the tradition?

    		St. Valentine's Day in Japan is a day when women give the special men in their lives boxes of chocolate. To balance out the one-sidedness of this practice, White Day was invented for men to reciprocate such gifts. While Valentine's Day is an imported convention, White Day (on March 14) is a purely Japanese creation.
