National Foundation Day

Today is Japan's National Foundation Day. It is based on Japan's old history book Nihonshoki. It says the first Emperor Jinmu Tenno acceded to the throne on the date. 

National Foundation Day holiday was once suspended after WW2, but came back to a national holiday in 1967. 

Normally, Japanese people don't do anything special for the day, but some people display the national flag in front of their porch. I think it is a good day for thinking of our nation today.
