A national holiday in the early Showa period. It was established to commemorate the virtues of Emperor Meiji and to commemorate the Meiji era. It was designated as the Emperor Meiji's birthday, November 3rd (Tencho-setsu). It is counted as one of the four major holidays (Shidaisetsu) along with Shihohai, Kigen-setsu, and Tencho-setsu, and on this day ceremonies and banquets are held at the Imperial Palace. It was abolished in 1948 (Showa 23) after the Second World War, but November 3rd is still celebrated today as "Culture Day."

昭和前期の祝日。明治天皇の遺徳をしのび、明治時代を追慕する目的で制定された。明治天皇の誕生日である11月3日(天長節)があてられた。四方拝、紀元節、天長節と並んで四大節(しだいせつ)の一つに数えられ、この日は宮中でも祭儀と宴会が行われる。第二次世界大戦後の1948年(昭和23)に廃止されたが、11月3日は「文化の日」として現在も継承されている。 [酒井信彦] 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 |
