Japan has lots of kinds of celebrations. My favorite one is my b-day lol j/k. my favorite holiday is uminohi.("umi" means osean, "hi" means day)always the day comes, I feel summer and in my home town, miyake island has big festival before the uminohi so that everyone can get rest on the holiday. However, have you ever thought what the uminohi??? What do we celebrate the day for?? Once I thought it's a day to celebrate opning beach but I soon realized it's not because we have umibiraki which let people swim officially in summer.(It doesn't have particular day to celebrate though,)So,today, I'll tell you what actually the UMINOHI is!!!
According to mt dictionary, it says....
It's one of the national holidays on july 20th.
It's legislated in 1955 and has been eforced since 1969 to thank for a blesing from the ocean and hope seafaring nation,japan's prosperity!!
From this year, I'll think about what my dictionaly told me and show ocean my appreciation!
Hi Kei,
返信削除You should show appreciation to the sea - that's for sure. Especially if it has contributed to Japan's prosperity. Long may it do so!
