Summer Solstice
- USA vs. Japan
Q: Here in the US, the Summer Solstice is the official first day of Summer*.
Are there any topics or special events related to the Summer Solstice?
A: I can't really think of anything for that day. I often even totally forget
about the first day of Summer. Usually if I do remember it is because someone at
work mentions it or I happen to see the day mentioned on the calendar.
Note: Although most Japanese calendars mark Summer Solstice like American
calendars, I can’t think of any events for this day in Japan, either. We call
Summer Solstice “Geshi”, in Japanese, which literally means “The Summer is
arriving”. Hmmm…now I know. “Geshi” means Summer’s first day, doesn’t it?
Silly me! J
