How does Japan celebrate Mothers Day?
First Mothers Day celebration in Japan occurred on 6th March, the birthday of Empress Kojun, who was the mother of Akihito (Japan’s current emperor). The celebration later became fully established alongside the organisation of the Imperial Women’s Union in 1931. During the Second World War, the Japanese were prohibited from celebrating Western customs and Mothers Day was brought to an abrupt end.
After 1949, when the War was over Mothers Day saw it's revival. The date changed to the second Sunday of May, when it continues to be celebrated to this day. (You might wish to celebrate it on your national Mothering Sunday instead, just in case your mum thinks you’ve forgotten…)
Since its revival, Mothers Day has been celebrated widely across Japan. Nowadays, many festivities are undertaken in celebration and it has become one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants and shopping malls. Whether your mother is Japanese or you simply wish to treat her to something a little different this year, a Japanese style Mothers Day celebration is a wonderful way to show her just how much you care.
