In Japan, today, February 23, is a national holiday called Emperor's Birthday (Tenno Tanjobi in Japanese). #emperorsbirthday #nationalholiday #holiday
Although there is little information, it is likely that small scale celebrations were held within the palace most years (with offerings and feasts).
On 6th November 1868 the Emperor's Birthday was finally made into a national holiday🙌
