Perseids *
2011

ペルセウス座流星群
100/ZHR
The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks with a rate of approx. 100 per hour.
We can't observe their peak because it happens in daytime (3:00p.m.).
Also sky is not dark at night because it's one day before the full moon,
so it's the worst condition in 2011.
The best time to observe is between 0:00 and 4:00 of 13th.
Look east (opposite direction from the moon)

Shuubun-no-hi
(Around Sept. 23)
Until 2011, Autumn equinox day
falls on September 23. Then, untill
2044, it falls on September 23
except leap years (Sept. 22).

Night and day are of nearly
the same length.
(Actually, day is a lttle bit longer)

On this day, the sun sets

In Buddhism, Pure Land
exists in the west.

Higan-no-chunichi
(The middle day of Higan period)2010

We have another Higan period with the
middle day falling on the spring equinox.
Higan 彼岸(lit. the other
shore) is a week-long
period.
Buddhist memorial
services are held.
We have Higan twice a
year, centering on the
vernal
and autumnal equinoxes.

The beginning of autumn Higan
period in 2009 is Sept 20 and end
on Sept 26. We eat "Ohagi" in this
period. Red beans are believed to
remove evil from our body.
Here is an old saying...
"Atsusa Samusa mo
Higan-made."
(暑さ寒さも彼岸まで)
Summer heat or winter cold
doesn't last after the
equinox.

▼ OCTOBER 2011 (平成/Heisei 23)
The classical name for October is Kannazuki (神無月)...lit. the godless month. There are several theories concerining its origin. According to the myth that almost everyone knows, Yaoyorozu-no-kami /
八百万の神
(lit. Eight million gods) leave their home shrines to congregate annually in October at Izumo Taisha (the Great Shrine of Izumo) in Shimane Prefecture. So, there are no gods all over Japan in October. By contraries, the eight million gods are assemble in Shimane Pref. Then October is called "Kamiarizuki (神在月)...lit. Month when the gods are present" in Izumo area (east part of Shimane Pref.).
It falls on October 29 to November 27 in 2008 on the Gregorian calendar.

Toshikoshi-soba
Buckwheat noodles eaten
on New Year's Eve.2011
We Japanese people eat
buckwheat noodles
(soba in Japanese)
on New Year's Eve.
This custom was already
an established custom
by the Edo period
(1603-1868).
Toshikoshi means to see the
old year out and the New Year in.
We have to eat it before January 1st.
Some people believe that eating
the soba after the start of the
new year bring bad luck.

<There are several reason why we eat soba
on the last day of the year>
1.Buckwheat noodles
are long and thin. It
leads the belief that if
one eats soba he/she
will get a long and
prosperous life.
People also wish their
family's good fortune
will continue long (like
soba nodles)
throughout the
coming year.

2. In the Edo period , soba cake was
used by goldsmiths when they
collect flied gold leaf. Then soba
symbolizes the wealth.
3. Soba is cut easily. People want to
cut off bad luck and trouble of this
year.
4. Year-end is always very busy and
soba is easy to eat.

morning of Jan. 1st,

Nanakusa-gayu/kayu
Day of Rice Porridge with Seven Herbs
2011
(January 7th/annual)
Nanakusa means seven herbs, and gayu (kayu) means rice porridge.
Nanakusa-gayu is rice porridge with seven edible wild herbs of spring:
Seri (Japanese parsley), Nazuna (shepherd'd purse), Gogyo (cotton weed), Hakobera (chick weed),
Hotokenoza (henbit), Suzuna (turnip) and Suzushiro (Japanese radish).
We eat Nanakusagayu on January 7th because of the seventh of the first month
has been an important festival called "Jinjitsu no sekku (人日の節句)" since ancient times.
This habbit was introduced from China, which had been held to ward off evil.
Now in Japan, we eat it in hopes of longevity and good health,
and it's also to supply green vegetables after the osechi food.
Seri Nazuna Gogyo Hakobera Hotokenoza Suzuna Suzushiro

Kenkoku Kinen no Hi
National Foundation day

2011
(Feb. 11/annual)
Day for commemorating the foundation of the nation and for fostering patriotic feelings.

Kenkoku Kinen no Hi (建国記念の日)was called "Kigensetsu(紀元節)" before.
According to the Japanese historical legend, the Emperor Jinmu, the first Emperor of Japan,
ascended the throne on this day in the year 660BC. It was designated as Japan's Foundation Day
and became holiday by the Meiji Government in 1872.
The holiday was abolished after the World War II by the view of the occupation forces,
but was revived in 1966 as "Kenkoku Kinen no Hi/ The Memorial Day of the National Foundation", and executed from1967.
So this day is not a historical foundation day. Just the day to celebrate the fact that the nation was established.
