Today in Japan: National Foundation Day

Celebrating history, culture, and patriotism

Japan is well-known for its long history, culture, and customs. One of their most famous holidays is the Kenkoku Kinen no Hi (National Foundation Day), observed annually on February 11. Also referred to as Empire Day, this festival marks the legendary foundation of Japan and the enthronement of its first emperor, the legendary Emperor Jimmu.While some chroniclers believe Emperor Jimmu’s enthronement may be more myth than historical fact, the celebration allows Japanese people to express love and pride for their nation. Initially observed on January 29, the holiday was shifted to February 11 during the Meiji Period when Japan adopted the Gregorian calendar.

For many, National Foundation Day may seem like a forgotten holiday, but it serves as a meaningful reminder of a nation’s foundation, culture, and traditions. It provides individuals with a sense of identity, connects communities to their past, and fosters unity through shared customs. Celebrating such holidays helps educate people, promote mutual respect, and strengthen cultural ties.As a subsidiary of a Japanese company, E-Guardian Philippines recognizes the importance of understanding and respecting these customs. By knowing its history, employees can better appreciate Japan’s culture, which is why EGP celebrates with Japan on their National Foundation Day.

In line with giving back, E-Guardian Philippines sponsored ten eligible students from Luuk Tongkil Elementary School in Sulu. This initiative provided school supplies and assisted parents with transportation expenses for their children’s weekly modules. EGP extends gratitude to Team Asia, foundation partners, and stakeholders for making this possible.Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, EGP continues to serve the community, staying true to its mission of protecting and supporting others.
