   Was puzzled how Black Friday invaded #Japan (with no Thanksgiving Day tradition) from USA where it was "associated with workforce absenteeism post-Thanksgiving [though] the term ”Black Friday” solidified by the 1980s, referring to the pivotal point where retailers purportedly shifted from loss...to profit (”in the black”)"

   Seems the original culprit was Toys "R" Us-Japan in 2014😡
