From the 29th of April to the 5th of May each year, Japan and its citizens celebrate \u201cGolden Week\u201d. This period of festivities includes four very special holidays, which we take a look at below. But if you\u2019re wondering why it\u2019s been called \u201cGolden\u201d, you\u2019ll find the answers not in some ancient history textbook of centuries gone by, but rather in the very last 20th century. Here\u2019s what happened: Japan\u2019s 1947 Constitution created a series of holidays that led many people around the country to spend their time frequenting movie theaters. Film studio Daiei\u2019s Managing Director at the time was Hideo Matsuyama, who called this time of the year \u201cGolden Week\u201d mirroring the \u201cgolden\u201d or \u201cprime time\u201d radio spots that had gained popularity. As a result, Golden Week continues to be celebrated in Japan until today, and it is not only the film industry that sees a boom in ticket sales but also leisure activities such as travel. In fact, Travel Voice Japan estimated that around 35% of the population traveled during the 2019 edition of this holiday period. Now let\u2019s take a look at what these four holidays are and what specifically they celebrate.<\/p>\n

Sh\u014dwa Day<\/h2>\n

Held on the 29th of April each year, Sh\u014dwa Day celebrates and honors the birthday of Emperor Sh\u014dwa (Hirohito), who died on the 7th of January, 1989. Interesting to note is that he reigned for a whopping 63-year period spanning from 1926 until 1989. In Japanese, Sh\u014d means \u201cshining\u201d or \u201cbright\u201d whereas \u201cwa\u201d means \u201cpeace\u201d. Therefore, the purpose of this holiday essentially is for citizens to receive \u201cenlightened peace\u201d by encouraging them to reflect on the Emperor\u2019s turbulent reign as opposed to glorifying the Emperor. Some notable developments to note during his rule include the end of the \u201cTaish\u014d Democracy, the 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria, a period of “government by assassination”, the rise of the totalitarian Taisei Yokusankai, World War II, the post-war occupation, the 1964 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo, the North Korean abductions of Japanese citizens, and the Japanese post-war economic miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Constitution Memorial Day<\/h2>\n

Also known as Kenp\u014d Kinenbi, this national holiday takes place on the 3rd of May each year to celebrate the country\u2019s 1947 Constitution, which came into effect on that date. The post-war period was a turbulent time for Japan after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 when the Showa Emperor declared Japan\u2019s unconditional surrender to the allied forces. Then, over the next two years, \u201cJapan and US General Douglas MacArthur cooperated in drafting the new constitution.\u201d It was ratified by the House of Representatives on the 24th of August 1946, the House of Peers on the 6th of October, and by the Privy Council on the 29th of October. It was finally promulgated by the Emperor on the 3rd of November 1946 and came into effect on the 3rd of May 1947. This day is typically a reflection by Japanese citizens on the meaning of democracy and the Japanese government, where for example, Article 9 of the Constitution declares the country to be a \u201cpacifist nation\u201d. One way that citizens can reflect and reminisce on history is through the opening of the National Diet for public tours every year on this day.<\/p>\n

Greenery Day<\/h2>\n

\"goldenMidori no Hi or Greenery Day and is held on the 4th of May. The celebration stems from the celebration of Emperor Hirohito’s birthday on the 29th of April each year as part of Golden Week in Japan. However, after the Emperor\u2019s death in 1989 and Emperor Akihito ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne, the holiday\u2019s name changed from the Emperor\u2019s Birthday to Greenery Day. So, what is celebrated during this day? As you can guess, it\u2019s anything to do with nature. It involves being thankful for the blessings and bounties that nature bestows on us.<\/p>\n

Children’s Day<\/h2>\n

The last holiday of the Golden Week is Children\u2019s Day or Kodomo no Hi and it takes place on the 5th of May. Although this holiday has been celebrated in Japan since ancient times, it became official in 1948. This special day seeks to set aside time to reflect on children\u2019s happiness as well as their developing personalities. What you may not know about this special holiday is that this day was originally called Tango no sekku. It is also interesting to note that this holiday was also known as Boys\u2019 Day or the Feast of Banners, which recognized sons and their fathers. There was also a Girls\u2019 Day although this was celebrated on the 3rd of March. However, in 1948 all this changed and Children\u2019s Day was celebrated for both male and female offspring, together with the recognition of mothers and fathers and the unity of the family system.<\/p>\n

So, how is this holiday celebrated? Many families around Japan raise carp-shaped windsocks to blow in the wind. When they do so it looks like they are swimming and this goes back to an old Chinese legend that a carp that swims upstream will become a dragon and then fly to Heaven. There are also color allocations for each carp: black for the father, red\/pink for the mother, and blue\/green\/orange for every child. To end this celebration, kashiwa mochi is usually served. These are sticky rice cakes filled with red bean paste and wrapped in sweet oak (kashiwa) leaves. However, the leaf is not eaten, instead, it is a symbol of prosperity.<\/p>\n

Enjoy The Golden Week In Japan!<\/h2>\n

If you find yourself in Japan towards the end of April and the beginning of May, you may just find yourself in a very festive atmosphere with many families celebrating the rich history and ancient customs of the country. From Sh\u014dwa Day to Constitution Memorial Day, which is on the more serious side of reflections to Greenery Day and Children\u2019s Day, which are more nature and family-oriented, there\u2019s a little bit for everyone during Golden Week in Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
