Although both Japan and China are located in East Asia, there are still some cultural differences between the two countries. For example, China Red, which is auspicious for China people, is not necessarily good for Japanese people. Moreover, Japan has been determined to leave Asia and enter Europe since the Meiji Restoration, which is greatly influenced by western culture, so they may prefer to represent pure white.

On the other hand, the Japanese attach great importance to etiquette. Wedding is such an important event, of course, we should give gifts well. If you just give someone a few pieces of cash in a red envelope, the gift is not very solemn. Japanese people like to give gifts with beautiful packages. It must be packed in cardboard boxes. Moreover, the Japanese aesthetic tends to be simple and elegant colors, so the wrapping paper may also choose a color with low saturation instead of bright red. If relatives and friends have to send cash to each other, they will also put the money in envelopes instead of conspicuous red envelopes.

In addition, it is also the reserved character of the Japanese that makes them dislike giving red envelopes. Friends who have seen Chrysanthemum and Knife will know that the Japanese character has two sides. On the one hand, they have a warrior spirit, and their hearts are cold, just like swords. On the other hand, their hearts are also very soft and sensitive, and they have a unique aesthetic for elegant things. They like cherry blossoms in spring and chrysanthemums in autumn. This implicit character makes them like to express their concern and blessing to others silently, and they are not inclined to stuff people with red envelopes in public. Because they are worried about each other's feelings, the Japanese will be afraid of causing trouble to each other.
