Respect for the Aged Day – September 20, 2021
Our elders are our link to the past and what better way is there to honor them than on Respect for the Aged Day, celebrated on the third Monday in September, on September 20 this year? It is a Japanese festival celebrated on the third Monday of September of each year. It is a national holiday in Japan on which people celebrate by spending time with their elderly relatives and friends.
HISTORY OF RESPECT FOR THE AGED DAY
This holiday’s story begins right after World War II, when a small town called Nomatanimura (now renamed Yachiyocho), in the Hyōgo Prefecture in Japan, ordained that September 15 be known as ‘Old Folks’ Day’ or Toshiyori no Hi. The mayor of that town, Masao Kadowaki, believed that people should look up to their elders (those 55 and over) for guidance after the chaos and hardship of the war.
The reasons for choosing this particular date vary; some legends say that the Yoro Falls in Japan miraculously cured a young man’s father around this exact period, while others say this date was selected because a legendary regent named Prince Shotoku established a home for the aged, which was, in turn, named after a god who was born on this date.
Over the years, this local celebration gained popularity around Japan, being renamed Keiro no Hi, and reached its peak status over two decades later, when it was designated as a national holiday. The actual date to honor the aged changed when Japan introduced a system known as the Happy Monday System, however. This was a bid to provide more three-day weekends to regular 9-5, Monday-Friday workers by moving public holidays to Mondays. Presently, this holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of each September.
