Halloween is fast becoming popular in Japan. This year I stood at the entrance to our apartment building and handed out 200 glow-in-the-dark bracelets to Japanese children trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. It was so fun watching them stand in single-file lines and say, "Trick or treat" to me while I put on their bracelet. Then, with a little bow and "arigato-gozaimasu," they were off.
Our children collected a variety of senbe (rice cracker), pencils, and small little trinkets. Some Japanese homes made goodie bags filled with toys and treats for each child.
