Season:Events of Japan in September
Respect for the Aged Day(敬老の日：Keiro No Hi) September 15 is a national holiday called Respect for the Aged Day, or Keiro No Hi, when one shows respect to elderly people for their long-time contribution to the society, celebrates their longevity, prays for their health, and thinks about how welfare services can be improved Because the holiday is a relatively new holiday being designated in 1966, there are no customs particularly involved except for cultural programs and athletic events held in the community. Japan has the longest life expectancy in the world. Currently one out of every six person is 65 years old or above. As the fertility rate, the number of children a woman is expected to give birth to during her lifetime, is dwindling, it is expected that by 2010, every fifth person in Japan could be 65 or over. The society in Japan is thus graying at a rapid pace, and the Respect for the Aged Day should become an increasingly important day in the years to come. Autumnal Moonlight Viewing There is an old custom of celebrating the full moon on the fifteenth day of the eighth month on the traditional Japanese calendar. The full moon, called Chushu no Meigetsu (中秋の名月), is considered particularly beautiful, as the air become crisper and the heat of summer is subsided. People place ornaments and offerings next to windows, on verandas, and in other places where on can see the moon. Vases are filled with pampas grass and autumnal herbs, and seasonal foods like dumplings, pears, persimmons, and grapes are placed on dishes. The practice of celebrating the full moon came from China during the Heian period (794-1185). Records show that Chushu no Meigetsu was marked with poetry and music by court aristocrats as early as 909. Autumnal Equinox Day September 23 or 24 is Autumnal Equinox Day, a national holiday, when the sun crosses the equator from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere. From this day on, days begin getting shorter than nights. It's a day not just to mark the changing of seasons but also to pay our respects to our deceased parents, grandparents and other family members. The Japanese have traditionally called the period around the autumnal and vernal(springtime) equinoxes Higan(彼岸). Higan lasts for seven days - beginning three days prior to the equinox and ending three days after it.
