Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is a special day celebrated in many countries around the world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada. In some countries, like France and the USA, it is called 'Mardi Gras' or 'Fat Tuesday'.
These festivals came to the United States with Japanese immigrants who left Japan in the late 1800s. Although days are celebrated differently than they are in Japan, it easy to see their Japanese origins. Girls usually start setting up their doll collections a couple weeks before Girlâs Day on March 3rd. People in Hawaii believe the doll collection must be taken down on March 3rd if their daughter is to marry. A special three-colored diamond-shaped rice cake, called hishi mochi, is eaten on this day. Boyâs Day is celebrated in Hawaii on the same day as it is in Japan, May 5th. Families fly colored carp streamers on bamboo poles from their roofs.
