   🙇♂️LABOR THANKSGIVING🙇

   A rather wet and gloomy start to 'Labor Thanksgiving Day' (勤労感謝の日 'Kinrō Kansha-no-hi').

   The national holiday was established in 1948 to celebrate the fundamental human rights and workers rights embedded in the new constitution.

     'Niiname-sai', the 'Harvest of the 5 Cereals' (新嘗祭), can be traced back to at least Emperor Tenmu (631-86), and continues to be celebrated by the imperial household.
     Newly harvested rice, grains and other foods are dedicated to the gods.

     During the imperial celebrations the emperor symbolically eats the first new rice of the year, and gives thanks for a successful harvest.

     At many shrines the harvest offerings are proudly displayed.

     It's no accident November 23rd was chosen as a post-war holiday. Since ancient times a harvest festival known as 'Niiname-sai' (新嘗祭 aka 'Shinjō-sai') has been held on this date.
