  1. Some of you may be wondering why the 1964 Summer Olympics took place in autumn🤔
    Well, unlike 2020's Tōkyō Olympics, organizers in the 1960s were concerned about the summer's heat and humidity, and so moved it to October (after typhoon season).

    Happy 'Health and Sports Day' (体育の日 'Taiiku-no-hi')!🥳
    As you might expect, we'll be celebrating with lashings of tea and sweets, and as the holiday commemorates the 1964 Tōkyō Olympics there's a subtle Olympic theme to today's offerings🏅

    This year 体育の日 falls on 10/9/23, but it used to always be 10/10 every year until 2000. Do you know why?

    The opening ceremony for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics was held on 10/10. That's why.
