I did not learn anything about National Foundation Day during my school days. No media has seriously focused on this holiday. It was only one of the national holidays for me when I was a child. When I grew up, the development of the internet enabled me to get a lot of information and I gradually became interested in the birth of Japan.<\/p>\n

On the morning of February 11th in 2013 (Heisei 25th yr), I happened to look for Kenkoku-kinen-no-hi on a search engine. I found out that a celebration parade and a celebration main ceremony would be performed by Nihon-no-Kenkoku-wo-Iwau-kai (the Committee to Celebrate Japan\u2019s National Foundation) in Shibuya. I didn\u2019t know anything about such an event, so I decided to attend the event to widen my knowledge. I quickly changed my clothes, asked my husband to drive me to the station and rushed to Shibuya by train.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I was not in time for the parade from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. Ten university brass bands, children\u2019s fife and drum corps, and Mikoshi (a portable shrine) started from Meiji Park, and moved through Gaien West Street, Aoyama Street, and Omotesando and the goal was Meiji-jingu Shrine. The celebration performance of Taiko (Japanese drums) was also already finished.<\/p>\n

I was surprised to find the hall was almost full of people, and most of them were elderly men. The members of the Committee, statesmen, and foreign guests were sitting on a stage. The celebration event consisted of two parts. The first part was the celebration central ceremony, and the second part was celebrated by Kagura. Kagura is sacred Shinto dance and music performed at shrines or on the streets. The speeches in the first part were very interesting for me and I learned many things. They sang the national anthem and Kigensetsu-no-uta (Song of Japan\u2019s birthday), listened to an appreciative speech by the sponsor and congratulatory speeches by the guests. At the end of the ceremony, they cried \u201cLong live the Emperor!\u201d Ise-Daikagura was performed in the second part. It was designated as an important intangible folk cultural asset, in which the sacred music and dance wearing lion masks were performed for purification and oblation.<\/p>\n

Books about Japanese history and foundation were sold in the lobby. Akafuku (soft rice cake covered with sweet bean paste) from Ise city, Mie Prefecture were also sold. It is said that the shop of Akafuku was established in 1707 as a tea house along the approach to Ise Shrine. Ise Shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu-omikami who is an ancestor of the Imperial family and this shrine is the foundation of the belief of about 80,000 shrines in Japan. When I left the Shibuya Public Hall, the sponsor gave me celebration Kohaku-manju: red and white Japanese style steamed buns stuffed with sweetened bean paste.

After that I went to Meiji-jingu Shrine and found many foreign tourists. Meiji-jingu Shrine was established to enshrine the Emperor Meiji and the Empress Shoken on the extensive grounds covering about 700 thousand square meters. In 1912 (Meiji 45th yr) the Meiji Emperor passed away and he was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum in Fushimi Momoyama in Kyoto. Afterwards, people in Tokyo started a movement for the establishment of a shrine for him in Tokyo. The shrine was built on the former site of the suburban residence of the Ii Family of Hikone Domain. It took almost five years to build the shrine. The trees donated from all over Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan were planted in the precinct forest. About 100 years have passed and now it completely looks like a natural forest. Reportedly about three million people, the largest number in Japan, visit Meiji-jingu Shrine every year to pray on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
