During the postwar period, the idea of 'Kigensetsu' (the day commemorating the ascension to the throne of the first Emperor Jimmu) was extinct, but on February 11, 1966 (the same day as Kigensetsu) was approved as the 'National Foundation Day'. |
昭和41年(1966年)、王朝の起点である2月11日のまま、戦後廃止された「紀元節」がほぼ同義の「建国記念の日」として復活した。 |
