Greenery Day (Japan)
May 4, 2024
The present observation of Greenery Day (Midori no Hi) as a public holiday in Japan stems from the celebration of the birthday of the Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito). The day was renamed to “Greenery Day” to acknowledge the controversial wartime emperor’s love for plants. (Wikipedia)
