November 23rd. A national holiday for "celebrating hard work, production, and mutual gratitude among the people." It was established in 1948 (Showa 23). Prior to that, it was a national holiday and was the day of the Niiname-sai festival, when the Emperor would offer new grain to the gods of heaven and earth and then eat it himself. As a result, this day is still strongly associated with festivals for those involved in agriculture.

11月23日。「勤労をたつとび、生産を祝い、国民がたがいに感謝しあう」国民の祝日。1948年(昭和23)制定された。その前は国の祭日で、天皇が新穀を天神地祇(てんじんちぎ)に勧め、自らも食する新嘗祭(にいなめさい)という祭事の日であった影響でこの日はいまも農業関係者の祭典の色彩が濃くみられる。 [森脇逸男] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
