Masks – Why do so many Japanese wear masks?

One thing that surprises tourists is the prevalence of masks! It seems, at certain seasons, that most Japanese are walking around wearing white disposable masks.
The reason is varied, with one of them being hay fever. There is a lot of cedar pollen that causes allergic reactions. Cold and influenza are popular in winter, too.
