In Tokyo, Japan, 15 Tokyo St. Patrick's Day Parade was also grandly opened. The melodious sound of bagpipes makes Tokyo seem like Ireland. The parade in Tokyo blended Japanese and Irish cultural performances, including exotic tap dancing and stilt performances with oriental characteristics.

St Patrick's Day also has some representative symbols, such as clover, which usually has three heart-shaped leaves connected together, and the legendary goblin. St Patrick explained the important teachings of the Trinity-the Father, the Infant and the Holy Spirit-to the Irish people at that time with three heart-shaped leaves of Oxalis (clover). Therefore, oxalis (clover) has become a symbol of Ireland, and now finding four-leaf oxalis (clover) is a symbol of luck. In addition, the old dwarf in green is a legendary figure in Ireland. They are shoemakers who make shoes for fairies, and they are quick-moving elves who are about two feet tall. They like to play practical jokes on people, such as tying the shoelaces of two shoes together, which causes people to fall down as soon as they stand up.

Legend has it that these elves hid pots of gold in tree holes, and those who want to find gold will follow the hammering sound of the shoemaker's elves at night to find them and let them tell the location of the hidden gold; Once, a man caught an elf and found gold in a tree hole. The man first made a mark on the tree with a red handkerchief, ready to go back and bring tools to dig for gold. But when he came back, he couldn't find the tree where the gold was hidden. It turns out that the elf tied all the trees with red handkerchiefs!
