Health and Sports Day (Taiiku no Hi)

Oct 10, 2016 19:02
Today is Health and Sports Day (Taiiku no hi), and is a holiday for many Japanese people.

According to the laws related to national holidays in Japan, Health and Sports Day is "to enjoy sports and foster healthy bodies."

This holiday is established in 1966 to memorialize the Tokyo Olympic Games held in 1964.

Initially, Health and Sports Day was October 10th, which is the opening day of the Tokyo Olympic Games, but it is the second Monday of October today.

Also, I heard that the second Monday of October is "Columbus Day" for many states of the US, and it is gorgeously celebrated.
体育の日

今日は体育の日で、多くの日本人にとって祝日です。

日本の国民の祝日に関する法律によると、体育の日は「スポーツにしたしみ、健康身体をつちかう」ことを趣旨としています。

この祝日は、1964年に開催されたオリンピック東京大会を記念して、1966年に制定されました。

当初はオリンピック開催日の10月10日が体育の日でしたが、現在ではハッピーマンデー制度により10月の第2月曜日となっています。

また、10月の第2月曜日は、アメリカの多くの州では「コロンブス・デイ」として盛大にお祝いするそうです。
