【No. 1751】Kenmin no Hi (県民の日 - "Prefecture Citizens Day")

Oct 4, 2019 18:22
Kenmin no Hi

Yesterday, I introduced Tomin no Hi (都民の日 - "Tokyo Citizens Day"), which was established for Tokyo citizens.

In addition to Tokyo, 20 out of 46 prefectures have established the regional anniversary as Kenmin no Hi (県民の日 - "Prefecture Citizens Day").

Usually, the day when the prefecture or its name was borne is defined as Kenmin no Hi.

However, except for Tokyo, only five prefectures (Chiba, Gunma, Ibaraki, Saitama, and Yamanashi) close most elementary, junior high, and high schools on that day.

Incidentally, in Aichi where I grew up, there was no such a day.
県民の日

昨日は、東京都民のために制定された「都民の日」を紹介しました。

東京都以外にも、46道府県のうち20の県が「県民の日」としてその地域の記念日を制定しています。

その県もしくは県名が誕生した日が、県民の日となることが多いようです。

しかし、その中で小中高を休校としているのは、「千葉県」「群馬県」「茨城県」「埼玉県」「山梨県」のたったの5県です。

私の育った愛知県では、そもそも「県民の日」がありませんでした。

    Established という動詞の後"as何々"が良く来ます

    born というより設立という言葉のほうがふさわしいじゃないかと思いました。
