Kissing introduced to Japan by the west?

Stan (or anyone else who might know...) a friend of mine mentioned that the act of kissing was a western custom, only introduced through western interaction with the east. Is this verifiable?
I've been tinkering with a script that involves feudal Japan and have a kiss at the end! Was wondering if I needed to take it out!
Thanks.

Kissing was a western custom introduced by the Portugese. I think I mentioned this in one of my story notes, though I'm not certain which issue or how indepth I got on the subject.

That is so cool, I never knew that.
I'm going to have to do some research on this being Portuguese myself and all.

Great so the next time I go to Japan I can just teach some ladies more "Western culture"

I'm confused...I thought that kissing was a natural thing that people do
