Today is Marine Day in Japan.

It is a day for the island nation of Japan to show appreciation for the seas and oceans.

Also known as Ocean Day, Sea Day or ‘Umi no hi’, Marine Day only became a nationally recognized holiday in Japan in 1996.

Marine Memorial Day was established in 1941 to mark the anniversary of the 1876 return of the Meiji Emperor to the Port of Yokohama, on the two-masted topsail schooner Meiji-Maru, from a tour of the Tohoku and Hokkaido regions, in the northeast of the country.

The day was also established as a holiday to express gratitude for the gifts of the sea, honor its importance, and pray for the prosperity of Japan as a maritime nation.

Him text: Hey babe… I’m in the hospital. I got my leg injured at work and Paula brought me here. Doctors say I might lose my leg. Her: Who’s Paula?!
