Hello, I would like to congratulate the birthday of America;
Happy Declaration from Great Briton on July 4th, 1776!!! I hope all American friends are going to have FABULOUS Independence Day Celebration♪♪♪
I wish I could enjoy the fire works and all. I may be able to watch it on TV news if I were lucky. Our National foundation Day is February 11th.
Haha, using this occasion, I checked ours and read this page;
I was happy to learn our history and here's a quote of little part,
"The origin of National Foundation Day (in Japan) is New Year's Day in the traditional lunisolar calendar. On that day, the foundation of Japan by Emperor Jimmu (first Emperor) was celebrated based on Nihonshoki (日本書紀), which states that Emperor Jimmu ascended to the throne on the first day of the first month (around BC.660). In the Meiji period (19th century), the Japanese government designated the day as a National Holiday."
Well, we don't have much celebration for this holiday, which I think is a little pity considering the old history. Have a great Holiday, dear friends in America,

ReplyDeleteI love the ancient history of Japan, although I need to learn more about it. You all have such a rich and sophisticated history. I need to do more reading on it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the wishes for our Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is a pity that you don't have at least one day of great celebration as an entire nation. Just a great day to meditate the Freedom and the goodness that we, as families all enjoy.
Thanks for your well wishes.
Love to you from your American friend,
Mariette
Dear Miyako,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the best wishes for a FABULOUS Independence Day celebration. As long as the weather holds my little celebration should be enjoyable. I love getting together with friends and family and sharing food and friendship. I was surpised to read that Japan doesn't do more to celebrate National Foundation Day. Your culture has so many beautiful ways of celebrating I think I expected there would be a big celebration for your nation's birthday.
Have a great week my dear bs. Love you always
Happy birthday to USA!! Thank you for writing about Japan's National Foundation Day. I had very little knowledge about this day...how bad!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to watch fireworks on TV news :-) I probably do the same. (I prefer staying home rather than going out to crowded place. Hehe.)
Oh such a lovely post. You always have new things to share with us.
ReplyDeleteIt is still very hot here,some rain last night.
We can see some fireworks from our house.
Hugs and love to you.....
Hi dear Miyako. A lovely post in honour of America and all our lovely American bloggy friends. I join with you in hoping that they all enjoy the celebrations for this special day, the 4th July! Hugs to you dear friend x
