What festivals are there in Japan?

1, Summer Festival is the general name of all kinds of sacrifices held in summer, and it is a traditional folk activity in Japan. Most summer festivals in Japan originated from peripheral activities related to Orchid Festival and Qixi Garden. The time is from June to July. At first, most of these sacrifices originated from religion, praying for abundant crops, prosperous business and prosperous families. With the changes of the times, for young people in Japan, sacrifice means wearing beautiful bathrobes (kimonos in summer), visiting temple fairs with many snacks and watching charming fireworks.

Boys' Day Dragon Boat Festival is also on this day. This is a day to celebrate children's growth and pray for happiness. Its concrete performance is that families with boys hang carp flags with high poles and put samurai dolls outdoors.

The Japanese believe that carp is a symbol of strength and courage, expressing parents' desire that their children and grandchildren become brave and strong soldiers. According to the principle of "respecting children's personality, seeking children's happiness and thanking mothers", this day was designated as a national public holiday.

3. Adult Ceremony The Japanese Adult Festival originated from the ancient adult ceremony and was influenced by the traditional "crown ceremony" in China. In Japan, 20-year-old young people mostly wear traditional costumes and visit shrines to thank the gods and ancestors for their blessing. Adult Day is one of the most important traditional festivals in Japan.

4. Respect for the Elderly Festival is a supplementary festival in 1966, aiming at respecting and thanking the elderly. The date of this section before 2003 (Heisei 15) is 15 September.

5. Cherry Blossom Festival is a cherry blossom festival from March 15 to April 15 every year, also known as Cherry Blossom Festival. It has a history of 1000 years. Cherry blossoms last only seven days from flowering to residual flowers, so they are also called seven days of cherry blossoms. Japan is the cherry blossom season from south to north. People put a sumptuous banquet under the cherry tree, or get together as a family, or invite three or five friends, while singing poetry and painting, and drinking and getting drunk. Young men and women chase and have sex among cherry blossoms, and more people carry rice wine and cherry blossoms, attracting many tourists every year.
