If there is a day to be patriotic in Japan, it is National Foundation Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name implies, National Foundation Day celebrates the foundation of Japan, and the ascension of Japan\u2019s first emperor: Emperor Jimmu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the legend, Emperor Jimmu is a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu and Japan&#8217;s first ruler. His accession&nbsp;is traditionally dated as 660 BCE,&nbsp;on the first day of the first month following&nbsp;the Chinese Lunar Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kenkoku-kinen-no-hi-explained\">\u201cKenkoku Kinen no Hi\u201d Explained<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cKenkoku\u201d (\u5efa\u56fd) means \u201cfounding of a nation\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cKinen\u201d (\u8a18\u5ff5) means \u201ccommemoration\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cno\u201d (\u306e) is the possessive particle (similar to \u201cof\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And \u201cHi\u201d(\u65e5) means \u201cday\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting those together, we have the direct \u2014 albeit fairly messy \u2014 translation \u201cfounding of a nation, commemoration day\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-beginnings-of-the-holiday\">The Beginnings of the Holiday<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The origins of National Foundation Day are bound tightly to the Meiji Restoration (Meiji Ishin, \u660e\u6cbb\u7dad\u65b0) \u2014 a pivotal period in Japan\u2019s history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this fact alone doesn\u2019t make the holiday contentious, rather, it was the government\u2019s intent for the holiday at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joys of modernization came with the Meiji Ishin, but so did massive political, social and economic changes, including the government\u2019s attempt to connect Shintoism to the State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The national holiday \u201cEmpire Day\u201d&nbsp;(Kigensetsu, \u7d00\u5143\u7bc0) was a direct product of these efforts, and from 1873 until 1945, Kigensetsu was used to commemorate the Emperor as the \u201cone true ruler of Japan\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National Foundation Day was originally called&nbsp;\u7d00\u5143\u7bc0 (Empire Day). Proclaimed by the Meiji government in 1872, Empire Day was likely created&nbsp;to unify the country under the Imperial family&#8217;s rule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same year Japan decided to officially adopt&nbsp;the Gregorian calendar was the first time this day was observed on January 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This holiday was deemed to be nationalistic in nature, so it was abolished in Japan\u2019s Post-war Constitution. In 1873, Empire Day was moved to the 11 of February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, as many Japanese were still observing the Chinese calendar, Empire Day was confused with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/new-years-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">New Year celebrations<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Empire Day was abolished after World War II and re-established as National Foundation Day in 1966 after numerous complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-on-the-february-11\">Why on the February 11?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The legend states that Emperor Jimmu ascended to the throne on the first day of the new year, but until 1873, Japan used the lunisolar calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was during the modernization of Japan that the Meiji Emperor deemed it necessary to switch from the Lunisolar Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar which is used in Japan today. Hence, the first day of the Lunisolar Calendar corresponds to February 11 in the Gregorian Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-is-national-foundation-day-celebrated\">How is National Foundation Day Celebrated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The original holiday, Kigensetsu, was once a big occasion in Japan. It was considered to be one of the four most famous holidays, and so the day was marked with celebrations and large parades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, however, the day is much more understated. During this time, many businesses and government buildings are closed. Although you will probably see more Japanese flags, there aren\u2019t many overt displays of patriotism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vocabulary\">Vocabulary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To commemorate Japan on this day, here are some kanji connected to this holiday, in order of difficulty (based on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, otherwise known as the &#8220;JLPT&#8221;).<br>How many did you already know?<br>JLPT Level 5: Japan, \u65e5\u672c, reading: \u306b\u307b\u3093, or more formally: \u306b\u3063\u307d\u3093<br>JLPT Level 4: Company, \u793e, onyomi:\u3057\u3083, kunyomi: \u3084\u3057\u308d<br>JLPT Level 3: Holiday\/absence from work, \u4f11\u6687, reading: \u304d\u3085\u3046\u304b<br>JLPT Level 2: History, \u53f2, reading: \u3057<br>JLPT Level 1: National Flag, \u65d7, onyomi: \u304d, kunyomi: \u306f\u305f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interested in Japanese culture?
