Halloween’s History

The origin of Halloween dates back to 2000 years ago in the ancient Celts. The ancient Celts set October 31 as the end of the year is the festival of the dead. This is called in Japan, what was a day like New Year’s Eve and the tray put together.


Halloween’s costume

The first thing I heard that Halloween images, isn’t disguise? This disguise means to surprised the demons prowl around the house. The children wear different costumes, for example witch, character, ghost etc…

 

Trick or treat !!

Trick or Treat is a word to say in the front door when the children visit the house at night. “Trick” mean “naughty” ,“Treat” mean “candy”, “Trick or Treat” mean you don’t give me some candy otherwise I play a trick. Halloween night, the children at the front door “Trick or Treat” that you hear a voice, “Happy Halloween!”, Saying let me put the candy on the market basket.

 

Japan’s Halloween

In Japan, Halloween was known by American movie and TV. Kawasaki Halloween parade is the most famous parade in Japan. In Japan, still Halloween isn’t more general than Christmas and Valentine’s Day, but it spread such as, commerce facilities every year. In Tokyo Disney land holds Disney Halloween from September. The guests are disguise as a Disney’s character.

 

About  Jack o’lantern

The past, a man named Jack. He was heavy drinking and a swindler. But he couldn’t go to Heaven, because he was bad conduct and he trapped the devil. Also, he couldn’t go to hell. So, his soul wandered. The devil refused him, but the devil gave him light to wander into darkness. And to burn a little longer that day, he put it into a hollowed turnip. That’s why the first a turnip was symbol of Halloween. This is Jack O’lantern. But, it was made from abundant pumpkin by American people. Since then, pumpkin is symbol of Halloween.
