Emperor's Birth Day - Japan
by Toshiaki Nishino
23 December
On this day we have a national holiday, so we do not have to go to school. First of all we put national flags in front of the houses. The emperor gives speech to all the people in Japanat emperor's palace in Tokyo. He gives the speech three or four times a day in the prsence of many people waving national flags in their hands. But there is a thick glass between emperor and audience from seculity problem. About forty thousands people can meet him in person. Most of people watch his speech on TV.
The number of people who watch the speech is decreasing these days. There is no palade on his birth day. There is a palade, when it is a prince's wedding and a coronation of emperor.We seldom watch a palade because of seculity ploblem.
Your friend in Japan,
Toshiaki Nishino
