WEDNESDAY…and it’s raining.

Today Japan celebrates the Emperor’s Birthday – a national holiday. Known as ‘Tennou Tanjyobi’, this holiday is celebrated on the birthday of the current emperor and thus changes when a new emperor ascends to the throne. The current emperor, Naruhito, was born on February 23.
