    "Since 2003, Respect for the Aged Day is held on the third Monday of September due to the Happy Monday System"

    🔸"Premium Friday" faded away. Glad to see "Happy Monday System" has survived🙂

    👵RESPECT-FOR-THE-AGED DAY👴

    Today is Keirō-no-hi (敬老の日) in Japan🎊
    Traditionally held on September 15th, in 2003 the national holiday was changed to the 3rd Monday in September. Commemorative silver saké cups are given by the government to those who have turned 100.

    if only, when one heard
    that old age was coming
    one could bolt the door
    answer "not at home"
    and refuse to meet him!
    -Anonymous author, from the Kokin Wakashū (古今和歌集).
