National Foundation Day - Kenkokukinenbi

Japanese: 建国記念日 - けんこくきねんび
National Foundation Day - Kenkokukinenbi
Of the independent countries currently existing in the world, over 110 countries have a date equivalent to National Foundation Day. Some of these countries have not been able to decide on a single National Foundation Day, but looking at the details of each country's National Foundation Day, more than two-thirds of them are independence anniversaries of former colonies, followed by Republic Foundation Day and Revolution Day. All of these are days commemorating the national liberation of their people or the founding of the country as a modern or socialist state, and the only National Foundation Days based on ancient founding legends are Korea's Foundation Day (October 3rd) and Japan's National Foundation Day.

Japanese:
現在世界に存在する独立国のうち,百十数ヵ国が建国記念日に相当する日をもっている。その中には単一の建国記念日を決められない国もあるが,各国の建国記念日の内容を見ると,その3分の2以上は旧植民地国の独立記念日となっており,共和国創立記念日や革命記念日がこれに次いでいる。いずれも自国民の民族的解放や,近代国家または社会主義国家としての建国を記念した日であり,古代の建国説話に基づく建国記念日は,大韓民国の開天節(10月3日)と日本の建国記念の日のみである。
