This Sunday is the day to do something special for that most excellent of people, your mother. The custom of honoring one's mother on a special day caught on in Japan in 1937 when the Morinaga Chocolate Company -- yes, the guys who make those delicious Morinaga Milk Caramels and other products -- held the first Mother's Day Celebration Event at a popular amusement park in Tokyo, which received wide press coverage throughout the country. I was blessed with one of the most amazing mothers in the world, who not only raised me and was supportive as my odd obsession with Japan became my career, but who also became my trusted business partner, helping J-List to become what it is today. Wherever are you in the world, if you're able to give your mother a special hug this Sunday, don't let the chance slip by.
So what are you going to for your mother this Sunday?
Mother's Day is a time to cherish that very special person, your mom.

Oh my God, the Madoka picture made me cry - what a sweet pic for Mother's Day. :) *sniff* And thanks for reminding me about that takoyaki maker...I've been eyeing it for while...
I know. This was a difficult post for me to write since this is my first Mother's Day without...my mom. (That's why I was in the U.S. for so long last year.) So if you're able, give your mother a big hug!
Its my first mother's day away from mom. Shes back home in san diego while im in sub school over here in groton CT.
Like you peter, my mom not only accepted my hobby and liking to the japanese culture, she also tried to embrace it like I did and understand why I loved it so much, she ended up being a cohort of mine.
I'll regret not being able to give her a hug, but i guess a large box of pocky and other goodies wouldnt be so bad.
Cool, I'm sure she knows you love her. Just to be able to talk on the phone (or on the video chat these days) is great.
