In Japan, the traditional events are
Shōgatsu Day on January 1
Hinamatsuri Day on March 3
Children’s Day on May 5
Tanabata Day on July 7
Foreigners may think that March 3rd is Girls’ Day and May 5th is Boys’ Day.
January 1st and May 5th are national holidays
Japanese people don’t usually say New Year’s Day but rather call it 正月.(正月=shōgatsu)
Japanese people don’t usually say Girls’Day but rather call it Hinamatsuri,
Japanese people don’t usually say Boys’Day
but rather call it Children’s Day,
▲Why don’t Japanese people celebrate September 9th ?
▲Because the number 9 is pronounced ‘ku or kyu’.
“ku ” also means suffering.=苦
苦 is Japanese Kanji.
The above rules apply to the pronunciation of numbers.
(ex) Only 9 =ku; the others=kyu,19 =ju kyu, 29=ni ju kyu; 99 =kyu ju kyu

I would like to have an event on November 11th as well, but there isn’t one.
Is that because the number would be double digits?

（About” Koinobori”=a carp streamer in the shape of a carp ）
Carp streamers are carp-shaped streamers that are displayed on Children’s Day in Japan to pray for the growth and health of boys.
In addition, samurai during the Sengoku period always had many flags and streamers fluttering inside their castles when they battle.
Many Japanese people hope that their boys will grow up strong, so they not only put up carp streamers outdoors but also buy expensive dolls to decorate their rooms.
These dolls are called “May dolls(五月人形=go gatsu ningyō)”, and most are made to resemble the famous samurai.
(侍=samurai ) ( 武士=bushi) (侍=武士)
The boss of “侍 and 武士” was called a daimyo
(大名=.daimyo)
And the chief of all the daimyo-tachi was called Shogun.
(将軍=Shogun)
From the 12th to the 19th century, Japanese shoguns had far more power than the emperors.
(天皇=ten’nō =emperor)
The Edo period ended in 1868, the Shogun was abolished, and the Emperor once again became the supreme authority.
With the abolition of the Shogun, the samurai were also abolished. Since then, to this day, there are no samurai in Japan.
The samurai-tachi who opposed the abolition of the samurai were either killed in the battle or sent to the prison by the government.
Many of them spent time in prisons in the bitterly cold Hokkaido, worked in the construction of many roads and other jobs, and contributed to modern Japanese industrial revolution.
(北海道=Hokkaido)
When World War II ended in 1945, the emperor became the symbol of Japan.
The highest authority is the people themselves, and the prime minister is merely their representative. And so Japan have arrived at the Japan of today.
(首相=shushō=the prime minister)
