Santa in Japan

As I left the reception last night, I noticed this on a Santa hut in the lobby of the hotel.  What questions do you have?

The caption in the lower right corner reads:
"The Greenland International Santa Claus Association sends an authorized Santa Claus to the HOTEL NEW OTANI OSAKA every year.  The authorized Santas are appointed by the oldest Santa Claus now living in the northern part of Greenland.  There are only 120 authorized Santas in the world."

(A few of mine:  What would it be like to be a Santa and come to Japan for the holidays?  What would it be like to have hundreds of Japanese children sit on your lap and tell you what they want for Christmas in Japanese?  What would it be like to be a Japanese child and meet Santa?  To where else in the world does the Greenland International Santa Claus Association export Santas?  For how much, under what conditions?  How does one become an authorized Santa?  Is "the oldest Santa Claus now living in the northern part of Greenland" the real deal?  Is this how he has built his empire of Christmas and feeds his reindeer?  Is Japan's importation of Santa Clauses responsible for the financial viability of Christmas?)
