The Emperor's Birthday (2019-)

Today, February 23 is a Japanese national holiday called "the Emperor's Birthday."

The purpose of this holiday is literally to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

This entry implies that the current Japanese emperor Tokuhito who has reigned since May 1, 2019, born on February 23.

Until April 30, 2019, The Emperor's Birthday was December 23, which is the birthday of the former emperor Akihito.

(I wrote a post introducing the Emperor's Birthday also on December 23, 2015.)

On this day, various events are usually held in the emperor's court; however, last year and this year, these events were canceled in light of the current situation where COVID-19 is spreading.
天皇誕生日(2019年~)

今日2月23日は天皇誕生日、祝日です。

この祝日は、「天皇の誕生日を祝う」ことを趣旨としています。

2019年5月1日より在位中の天皇徳仁陛下の誕生日が、2月23日というわけです。

2019年4月30日までは、先代天皇明仁階下の誕生日である12月23日が、祝日でした。

(2015年12月23日にも、天皇誕生日を紹介する記事を投稿していました。)

この日、宮中では祝賀の義などの行事が催されるのが通例ですが、今年は昨年に続き、新型コロナウィルス感染拡大の現状に鑑み、中止となっています。
