Holiday of culture


We have a holiday on November 3, it is called Bunkano-hi. It means the day of culture. That day is not similar to hallween. People do not wear any costume and children do not do "trick or treat." But we hold many event in any places especially local gym or hall. We can watch some performances, pictures, and so on. All of works are related with japanese traditional culture. And most of junior high and high school take place cultural festival around this day. This festival is one of two tops which is event students like. Another event is sports festivel. The active students like belong to sports club like sports festivel. In contrast, the quiet students like belong to not sport club like cultulal festival. Students play a famous drama, dance, make booth of food, put a their works on some walls, and so on. Many people who are their family and live in near from their school come the school to watch their play and works. Like that, people can meet culture in around the holiday of culture.

That's really interesting. I have heard of this holiday before but I never really had anyone explain it to me before.
