About This Trend

昭和の日 is a Japanese national holiday observed on April 29th, originally established as the birthday of the Emperor Showa. It has undergone several name changes, previously known as 天皇誕生日 (Emperor's Birthday) and みどりの日 (Greenery Day), before being renamed to its current name in 2007.

The holiday is trending now due to its significance as part of Golden Week in Japan, a week-long period of consecutive holidays. It reflects on the Showa era, which was marked by both turmoil and reconstruction, and serves as a time to contemplate the nation's future. .
