Baumkuchen Day
Today, March 4th, is Baumkuchen day.
バームクーヘンの日
This is derived from the fact that Baumkuchen have been manufactured and sold since March 4th, 1919.
今日、3月4日は、バームクーヘンの日です。
Today is also the sewing machine ( which is called “mishin” in Japan) day, because “mi” means “three,” and “shi” means “four.”
これは1919年の3月4日に、日本で初めてバームクーヘンが製造販売されたことに由来します。
Furthermore, today is a sash(sasshi) day, a magazine(zasshi) day, and a three sisters(san-shimai) day(“sa” and “za” means “three,” “shi” means “four” in Japan).
また、ミシンの日でもあります。
However, most Japanese people don’t think that March 4th is a special day.
そして、サッシの日、雑誌の日、三姉妹の日でもあります。
I think that one of the reasons is because March 3rd is a special day as Dolls’ Festival for Japanese.
しかしながら、多くの日本人は3月4日を特別な日だとは思っていません。
Japanese set up a lot of dolls, and wish girls both health and growth on March 3rd.
その理由の一つは、日本人にとっては3月3日が、ひな祭りとして特別な日だからだと思います。
