Tomorrow is Bunka no Hi in Japan. It is a national holiday celebrating Japan’s culture. I think it is a wonderful way to enjoy many cultural and historical attributes of the country.
So what happens on Bunka no Hi?
The Imperial Palace in Tokyo holds a ceremony to present Order of Culture Awards.
The Emperor himself presents the awards.
There will also be traditional musical, tea ceremony and kimono wearing events!
Did you know that it was on this day in 1946 that the Japanese government announced its new constitution.
The ideals of the Constitution are love of peace and freedom – and to celebrate this, the holiday Bunka no Hi – a Day Appreciating Cultural Things was enacted.

I have lived and worked in Japan for the past twenty five years off and on. I have seen many changes and enjoyed the various paradoxes and anomalies of everyday Japanese living.
