- Halloween is traditionally a family-oriented holiday, with children dressing up and going trick-or-treating.
- Jimi Halloween, also called Mundane Halloween, is taking off in Japan as adult participants dress as ordinary people in everyday life.
Why it matters: Adult participants in Japan are gaining a distinct way to mark Halloween: their costumes represent ordinary people in everyday life, rather than the children’s dress-up and trick-or-treating described as the tradition. The trend creates a separate adult celebration from the same seasonal occasion.
