Christmas and Japan
Dec 25, 2016 13:36
Since today is Christmas, I will talk about trivia related to Christmas.
The first Christmas (Mass of Nativity Festival) in Japan was held at Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1552.
However, because Edo shogunate government issued Anti-Christian Edicts and prohibited Christianity, Christmas was not held for more than 200 years.
It is said that Christmas was gradually accepted around 1900, when Christmas business competition began.
Also, along with Taisho Emperor system was collapsed on December 25, 1926, this day became a holiday as Taisho Emperor Festival only around that years.
This fact seems to be also deeply related that Christmas became an annual event in Japan.
Unfortunately, according to a questionnaire survey, around half of Japanese people will spend alone this Christmas.

日本とクリスマス
今日はクリスマスなので、クリスマスに関するトリビアを紹介します。
日本でのクリスマス(降誕祭のミサ)は、1552年の山口県で初めて行われました。
しかし、その後江戸幕府の禁教令によってキリスト教は禁止され、200年以上もの間クリスマスは一般の間で行われませんでした。
日本でクリスマスが受け入れられたのは、1900年頃にクリスマス商戦が始まったことが大きな契機でした。
また、1926年12月25日の大正天皇制崩御に伴って、この時代12月25日は大正天皇祭として休日となっていたことも、クリスマスが日本の年中行事になったことに深く関わっているようです。
ただし、残念なことにあるアンケートによると、今年のクリスマスは日本人の約半数が一人ぼっちで過ごしているようです。
