Hiatus Post 2020.04.29 Wednesday
休けい時間 きゅうけい じかん
令和2年4月29日 水曜日
How are you all doing on this rainy Wednesday? I think of you and imagine your 好きな faces.
So here is what today is, in Japan; it is the first day of Golden
Week. Below is an explanation, with some historical information.
Shōwa Day (昭和の日, Shōwa no Hi) [April 29th] （edited from Wikipedia）
Shō (昭) means “shining” or “bright”, and wa (和) means “peace”,
signifying the "enlightened peace" that citizens [hoped to] receive.
According
to the now defunct Democratic Party of Japan, the purpose of
the holiday is to encourage public reflection on the turbulent 63 years of
Hirohito's reign.
Hirohito (裕仁, 29 April 1901 – 7
January 1989) was the 124th emperor of Japan according
to the traditional order of succession. He
reigned as the emperor of the Empire of Japan (大日本帝國) from 25 December 1926
until 2 May 1947, and [as emperor] of
the state of Japan (日本国) from 3 May 1947 until
his death on 7 January 1989. He was succeeded by his fifth child and eldest
son, Akihito.
In Japan, reigning emperors [usually]
are known simply as "the Emperor" and he is now referred to primarily
by his [reign] name, Shōwa (昭和), which is the name
of the era coinciding with his reign; for this
reason, he is also known as the Shōwa
Emperor or Emperor
Shōwa.
At the start of
his reign [in 1926], Japan was already one of the great powers—the ninth-largest economy in the
world, the third-largest naval power, and one of
the four permanent members of the council of the League of
Nations. He was the head of state under
the [then] Constitution of the Empire of Japan during Japan's imperial expansion, militarization, and involvement in World War II.
After Japan's surrender, he was not prosecuted
for war crimes as many other leading government
figures were, and his degree of involvement in wartime decisions remains [extremely]
controversial.
During the post-war era he became the symbol
of the state of Japan under the [new] post-war constitution and Japan's recovery [with no political power
of his own], and by the end of his reign [in 1989], Japan had emerged as the
world's second largest
economy.
