Japanese shops are open for business, but the door is full of wreaths. Is this related to local culture?
A wreath is something that will appear at China's funeral. They are all white. They look serious and sad. However, the wreaths placed in Japanese shops are red. Although the shape is very similar to that used at China's funeral, red expresses another feeling. It's not sad at all, but festive. This is also caused by cultural differences.
It seems normal for local people to lay wreaths when opening a shop. There's nothing to make a fuss about, just like opening a shop in China to deliver flower baskets. Actually, it means the same thing. The wreaths placed in Japanese shops are equivalent to the flower baskets in China, but things are different. In fact, look carefully at the wreaths placed in Japan. They are colorful and bright, and the basic color is big red. It is also very festive and has the meaning of opening a good business.
The red shape of Japanese wreaths, with many small flowers in a circle, looks more like the shape of sunflowers and is full of vitality, which is not like the wreath used at China's funeral at all, so don't mind too much when you see this kind of shop opened in Japan. After all, this is a local custom, which has been formed for a long time. You can also send a blessing to start a good business. In order to attract customers, it is also good to buy some cheap things by the way.
