NAGOYA CALENDAR■National Holidays in May 5月の祝日
Wed. 1 May - Tennō no Sokui no Hi (天皇の即位の日)
Tennō no Sokui no Hi, or Ascension Day, is a once-only
national holiday, marking the beginning of a new era.
Following the abdication ceremony of Emperor Akihito on 30
April, bringing the Heisei (平成) period to a close, Crown
Prince Naruhito will ascend the throne to become the newEmperor, and the Reiwa (令和) era will begin.

Thu. 2 May - Kokumin no Kyūjitsu (国民の休日)
Under Article 3 Paragraph 3 of the
National Holidays Act, a weekday
sandwiched between two national
holidays (Kokumin no Shukujitsu / 国
民の祝日) is also proclaimed a holiday('national day of rest,' Kokumin no
Kyūjitsu / 国民の休日). Thus, with theextra national holiday on 1 May thisyear, and the annual Constitution
Memorial Day on 3 May, 2 May also
becomes a holiday this year.

Fri. 3 May - Kenpō Kinen no Hi (憲法記念日)
Kenpō Kinen no Hi, or Constitution Memorial Day, is a day tolook forward to the growth of the country, observed on thedate of the promulgation of the postwar constitution in 1947.

Sat. 4 May - Midori no Hi (みどりの日)
Midori no Hi, or Greenery Day, wasformerly observed on 29 April, thebirthday of the late Emperor Shōwa(Hirohito), when this date was kept as
one of the 'Golden Week' national
holidays after the death of theEmperor. Named for the late
Emperor's deep affection for nature,
Greenery Day is a day to commune with nature, appreciate its
blessings and enrich one's spirit. Prior to 2007, 4 May was a
Kokumin no Kyūjitsu (see 2 May above), a weekday between
two national holidays; it became the Greenery Day national
holiday when 29 April was renamed Shōwa Day.

Sun. 5 May - Kodomo no Hi (こどもの日)
Kodomo no Hi, or Children's Day, isa national holiday to respect theindividual character of children, andto promote their happiness andappreciation for mothers.
Traditionally, the observance known
as Tango no Sekku (端午の節句), in
which families pray for the health ofboys, hanging carp streamers (koinobori / こいのぼり) outdoors
and displaying dolls in traditional armor or helmets inside thehome, is celebrated on this day.

Mon. 6 May – Furikae kyūjitsu (振替休日)

When a national holiday (in this case, Children's Day) falls on a
Sunday, the following weekday (Monday) is designated a
substitute holiday (furikae kyūjitsu / 振替休日).

Living in Nagoya
Living Q & A: Moving to another municipality / Registering a personal seal

外国人暮らしのQ&A

I recently arrived in Japan, and am working as an employee of a Japanese company. I am living temporarily
in a rental apartment, and have been to my local government office to complete my resident registration. I
am thinking of renting an apartment in another city and moving, but I was told that I need a personal seal
(jitsuin / 実印) for the rental procedure. What should I do? Is there anything I need to do when moving?

Since you have already completed your resident registration, you can register your personal seal (inkantōroku / 印鑑登録) at the office of the local government at which you are registered as a resident. A seal which
you have registered is referred to as jitsuin (実印). There are regulations concerning the specifications of a sealthat can be registered as one's jitsuin, and some seals cannot be registered. You will also need to provide
documentation such as that verifying your identity (e.g. your Residence Card [zairyū kādo / 在留カード]). For
details, please contact the section of your local government office responsible for seal registration.
When moving to a new place, you must submit a notification of moving out (tenshutsu todoke / 転出届) to
the local government office where you are currently registered as a resident, and receive a certification ofmoving out (tenshutsu shōmeisho / 転出証明書). At the same time, you will also need to apply to cancel yourseal registration.
Next, you will need to go to the local government office in the municipality where your new residence is andsubmit a notification of moving in (tennyū todoke / 転入届), attaching the tenshutsu shōmeisho. Other
documents may also be required, so it is a good idea to check with the local government office concerned. The
notification of moving in must be made within 14 days of moving into a new address. Also, if you aregoing to need a jitsuin in the future, be sure to register your seal at the same time.
For details on these procedures and the documentation you need, please check with the local government
offices concerned.

Read the Signs - Dental Clinics

看板を読もう 歯医者

Although the amount of signage and support in English and other languages seems to be increasing with the growing number ofinternational tourists and the approaching Olympics, it can still be a challenge to get through each day if you're dependent on English.
Signs in Japanese may enhance the sensation of the exotic for some new arrivals, and over time some people may even tune them out
as the signs just become another element of the backdrop to one's life in Japan. But with a few key characters and expressions, and alittle determination, you can begin to decipher signs, and glean some information that might even help you or someone you know out.
This issue, we'll look at some items to help you spot a dental clinic.

Key character: 歯 ha (tooth, teeth); also
pronounced shi in some words, e.g. shika (seeKey word below)
Also found in:
歯ブラシ haburashi (toothbrush)
歯を磨く ha o migaku (to brush one's teeth)
歯磨き粉 hamigakiko (toothpaste)
歯医者
haisha (dentist)
Key word: 歯科 shika (dental clinic; dentistry)
Variation: 歯科医院 shika-i'in (dental clinic,
dental surgery)
Other useful words:
矯正 kyōsei (orthodontic [dentistry])
小児 shōni (pediatric [dentistry])(一般)歯科 (ippan) shika ([general] dentistry)NAGOYA CALENDAR

We tried our hands at tie-dyeing handkerchiefs at
Arimatsu Narumi Tie-dyeing Museum
String, needles, and handkerchiefs

An instructor is there to help and wego through each step following theirinstructions.

Arimatsu

Arimatsu is located inMidori Ward in thesoutheastern part of thecity of Nagoya. About 20
minutes on the Meitetsu
Nagoya Line from
Meitetsu Nagoya stationand you'll arrive at
Arimatsu Station. There
are streets here that arereminiscent of the Edo
period (1603-1867). It is known for Arimatsu shibori (tie-dyeing), a
Japanese traditional craft with a history of around 400 years.

The dyeing will be done by aprofessional and the item returned
once it's done (approximately 3
weeks).
* Items can be picked up in person, ordelivered for a fee (within Japan only).

The items will have strings still tied,so cut the strings carefully andremove them.

The Arimatsu Shibori Festival is held every year in June. In 2019, it
will be on Sat. 1 and Sun. 2 June. Many people come and many
shops set up to sell their goods outside along the streets. (See page
6 for more on the Arimatsu Shibori Matsuri.)
We hope you visit Arimatsu, try your hand at tie-dyeing, drop by
the old houses that are open to the public, and take in the
traditional streets.

Arimatsu Narumi Tie-dyeing Museum, and the sights of
