You just let your daughter run amok celebrating whatever she wants?

Yes, i let her run amok celebrating whatever she wants. Unless it involves Chuthlu. Or the Dallas Cowboys. One must draw the line somewhere.

My daughter (half japanese/half puerto rican) has decided that celebrating chinese new year is fun, so she told her teacher than japanese also celebrate chinese new year (outside of her absolutely false). So she is today helping her chinese friends setting up the event today at school. Honorary chinese. I told her she might want to tell her teacher japanese celebrate the normal new year but she told me that "she is celebrating, therefore japanese DO celebrate chinese new year".

actually, japanese do celebrate lunar year

Actually you are talking about setsuben, it's not necessarily tied to that day and it's not a big holiday anymore. Mostly just an acknowlegement, maybe you do something small.

It used to be tied to the lunar new year though I believe

No my kids are small.

i don't really know tbh, i just know that china, korea, vietnam, singapore, iran and japan are among some of the countries that celebrate lunar new year. i've only seen it celebrated first hand amongst the first 4 countries. i don't know why japan would stop celbrating it if they used to in the past, especially considering there culture holds tradition in high regard. you would probably know more then me on that subject.

i got some answers here.
guess you were right

Yeah, but it's an interesting point that Japanese did celebrate lunar new year, albeit in a different way. Setsuben has become kind of separated from it, probably because some leader at some point hijacked the holiday. Or maybe after the black ships they wanted to be more westernized and celebrate like the West.
