English: Based on these historical backgrounds, it is believed that spaghetti and ketchup, which were then not yet part of the Japanese diet at home, were used for cooking to suite the tastes of US troops.
Japanese: このような当時の時代背景から、その頃まだ日本では一般人の食卓に上ることが珍しかったスパゲッティとケチャップを使った料理が進駐軍の好みに合わせて考え出されたと伝わっている。
English: Inspired by spaghetti mixed with tomato ketchup, one of the military rations of the occupation troops, IRIE added not only ketchup but tomato puree, seasoning and ingredients to make an authentic dish called 'Spaghetti Naporitan' and put it on the hotel menu.
Japanese: 進駐軍で食べていたスパゲッティにトマトケチャップを和えた軍用食からヒントを得て、ケチャップだけでなくトマトピューレ、調味料や具材を加え本格的な料理に仕上げた「スパゲッティナポリタン」としてホテルのメニューに載せた。
English: According to the recipe from those days, Spaghetti Naporitan in the Hotel New Grand was different from the Naporitan later popularized, but was apparently closer to the Napoli-style sauce described below.
Japanese: 当時のレシピを見ると、このホテルニューグランドのスパゲッティナポリタンはその後大衆化したナポリタンとは違い、後述のナポリ風ソースに近い料理であったようだ。
English: Since it was not well received at the hotel's tasting events by their Japanese customers, who were not yet familiar with the texture of al dente pasta, IRIE cooked spaghetti 70 percent through and let it stand overnight in fridge to obtain a texture like udon, to fit the tastes of Japanese (according to Mirai Sozodo, a Japanese TV show).
Japanese: まだ日本人はアルデンテの食感に慣れていなかったために試食会では不評で、日本人の嗜好に合わせるために、7割方茹でたスパゲッティを冷蔵庫に一晩置いてうどんのような食感にした（未来創造堂より）。
English: Once this Naporitan started to be served at average restaurants, ketchup replaced tomato puree, which was still not easily available to the public, and sausage made from mixed meat with red-colored casing replaced expensive meat, then becoming the dish seen today.
Japanese: このナポリタンが一般的な食堂で提供されるようになると、まだ当時は庶民の手に入り難かったトマトピューレはケチャップで代用され、高価であった肉の代わりに、寄せ集め肉で作り皮を赤く着色したウインナーソーセージを入れた現在の料理へ変化していった。
English: This Naporitan with the common touch became popular as a staple dish at kissaten (Japanese-style coffee shop) and inexpensive eating places throughout Japan, and enjoyed continued popularity.
Japanese: この庶民的なナポリタンは日本中の喫茶店や大衆食堂の定番メニューとして親しまれ、定着していった。
English: During the Showa period when the idea of cooking rehydratable pasta noodles al dente was not common, people used noodles which were boiled and let them stand beforehand to reheat in a frying pan while seasoning it.
Japanese: 昭和期にはパスタの乾麺をアルデンテに茹でるという概念も一般的でなく、あらかじめ茹置きした麺をフライパンで味付けながら炒め直しする。
English: Because Naporitan was very easy to flavor with ketchup, it was often served at school meals, home, kissaten, and lunchrooms.
Japanese: ケチャップでの味付けが非常に簡便であることから、学校給食や家庭、喫茶店、軽食堂で供されることが多かった。
English: Before the Italian-cuisine boom during the economic bubble, meat sauce (Bolognese sauce) and Naporitan were the two major spaghetti dishes in Japan.
Japanese: バブル景気の頃のイタリア料理ブームが起こる前、日本におけるスパゲッティ料理と言えばミートソースとナポリタンが双璧をなしていた。
English: It was also a routine as a kids' lunch and a side dish to yoshoku.
Japanese: お子様ランチや洋食の付け合わせにもケチャップ味のスパゲッティは定番である。
English: Although it is still a firm favorite, Naporitan has less frequently been seen with the decrease in the number of privately managed kissaten now that varieties of authentic pasta is available.
Japanese: 今でも根強い人気はあるが、様々な本格的パスタが食べられるようになった今日では、個人経営の喫茶店の減少とともに、ナポリタンを見かける機会はやや減りつつある。
English: Naporitan has been reassessed, however, as a result of the growing trend to look back on the Showa period in recent years.
Japanese: しかしながら近年の昭和時代の懐古ブーム（昭和レトロブーム）の影響で、ナポリタンが再評価されつつもある。
English: Although Naporitan is sometimes called Italian in the Kansai region, some restaurants have both Naporitan and Italian on the menu with slightly different ingredients, which leaves the definition of Naporitan up to the restaurants.
Japanese: 関西地方ではナポリタンをイタリアンと呼ぶこともあるが、具材を若干変えナポリタンとイタリアンの両方をメニューに載せている店もあり、何がナポリタンかの定義はレストランによりまちまちである。
English: Additionally, in the Kanto region including Tokyo, deep-fried spaghetti flavored with salt and pepper (soy sauce) only and without ketchup is sometimes called 'Italian,' which is also a dish unique to Japan and not seen in Italy.
Japanese: また、東京等の関東圏では、具材はナポリタンとほぼ同じだが、ケチャップを使わず、ただ塩とコショウ（や醤油等）で味付けし、油炒めしたスパゲッティを「イタリアン」と呼ぶ事もある（こちらもパスタの本場、イタリアには存在しない、日本独自の料理である）。
English: According to the recipe for Naporitan in the Hotel New Grand in Yokohama, which is believed to have created the first Naporitan in Japan, its Naporitan was closer to Spaghetti a la Napolitana in France than the ketchup-tasting spaghetti known as Naporitan in Japan now.
Japanese: 日本で最初にナポリタンを作ったと言われている横浜のホテルニューグランドのナポリタンのレシピは、現在日本でナポリタンとして知られるケチャップスパゲティよりも、フランスのスパゲッティ・アラ・ナポリターナに近い料理であった。
English: There is no such pasta dish as Napolitan (alla Napolitana in the Italian language) in Italy.
Japanese: イタリアにはナポリタン（イタリア語ではアッラ・ナポレターナとなる）と呼ばれるパスタ料理は存在しない。
English: Tomato ketchup is an American seasoning and is not commonly used in cooking in Italy.
Japanese: トマトケチャップはアメリカの調味料でイタリアでは一般には料理で使用されない。
English: There is a sauce named Napolitan in Italy: Neapolitan sauce.
Japanese: ナポリタンの名が付いたソースがある（wNeapolitansauce）。
English: This is a sauce made from onion, garlic, spices, and Parmesan cheese, used mainly for pasta.
Japanese: これはトマト、玉ねぎ、にんにく、香辛料、パルメザンチーズなどから作られたソースで主にパスタに使用される。
English: There is a theory that Napolitan originates from the Italian-style pasta flavored with tomato sauce called 'spaghetti a la Napolitana,' commonly eaten in France.
Japanese: ナポリタンの起源はフランスで一般的に食べられているイタリア風のトマトソースパスタ「スパゲッティ・アラ・ナポリターナ」であるとの説がある。
English: Spaghetti alla Amatriciana in Italian cuisine is relatively closer in taste to Japanese Spaghetti Naporitan.
Japanese: イタリア料理でスパゲッティ・ナポリタンに比較的近い味のものに、アマトリチャーナ（Spaghettiallaamatriciana）がある。
English: This is a dish in the region of Lazio, not Campania where Naples is located, eaten in tomato sauce made from pancetta and onion with Pecorino Romano if desired.
Japanese: パンチェッタ、タマネギのトマトソースにペコリーノ・ロマーノを好みでいれる、ラツィオ州（ナポリのあるカンパニア州ではなくローマ近郊）の料理となる。
English: In American food, Napolitan suggests a type of ice cream called Neapolitan ice cream.
Japanese: アメリカで一般的に食べ物でナポリタンというとアイスクリームの一種を指す（wNeapolitanicecream）。
English: The kadomatsu (literally, gate pine) is a pair of displays made of pine and bamboo set up in places such as in front of houses during the New Year.
Japanese: 門松（かどまつ）とは、正月に家の門の前などに立てられる一対になった松や竹の飾りのこと。
English: The significance of the kadomatsu is that it is an object where the gods reside for welcoming the god of the incoming year home because the gods were believed to reside in treetops.
Japanese: 古くは、木のこずえに神が宿ると考えられていたことから、門松は年神を家に迎え入れるための依代という意味合いがある。
English: The present-day kadomatsu features bamboo in the middle, but its main part is pine as indicated in the name.
Japanese: 現在の門松は中心の竹が目立つが、その本体は名前で解るとおり松である。
English: The kadomatsu stems originally from the popular custom of the 'Pine on the Day of the Rat,' in which nobles in the Heian period took pines home during the fondly-held event called the Komatsu-hiki (pulling out small pine trees on the first day of the Rat), and used them to pray for longevity.
Japanese: もと、平安の貴族達が好んだ小松引きと言う行事で持ち帰った「子の日の松」を長寿祈願のため愛好する習慣から変遷したものである。
English: Even today, families of ancient lineage in the Kansai region partly follow the old custom, displaying small pines (with a simplified design of pine branches) with roots wrapped in Japanese paper on both sides of the house entrance, instead of the standard kadomatsu.
Japanese: 現在も関西の旧家などでは門松の代わりに、玄関の両側に白い和紙で包んだ根が付いたままの小松（松の折枝は略式）が飾られているのはその流れを汲むものである。
English: In the Kansai region, a set of three bamboo stalks is placed in the middle with a decoration of (red and white) ornamental cabbages at the front and young pine at the back, all tied with bamboo strips around the bottom.
Japanese: 関西では3本組の竹を中心に、前面にハボタン（紅白）後方に長めの若松を添え、下部を竹で巻く。
English: For the standard kadomatsu in the Kanto region, relatively short young pine branches are placed around a set of three bamboo stalks in the middle, the bottom of which is tied with straw ropes.
Japanese: 関東では、3本組の竹を中心に、周囲に短めの若松を配置し、下部をわらで巻くという形態が多い。
English: There are two styles for the tip of the bamboo stalks: the diagonally sliced 'sogi' and the horizontally sliced 'zundo.'
Japanese: 竹の先端部の形状は、斜めに切った「そぎ」と、真横に切った「寸胴（ずんどう）」の2種類がある。
English: According to popular belief, it was Ieyasu TOKUGAWA who created the 'sogi' after the Battle of Mikatagahara (1572), a battle known as his only ever defeat, swearing that he would slash his enemy Shingen TAKEDA next time.
Japanese: 「そぎ」は徳川家康が始めたもので、徳川家康の生涯唯一の敗北として知られる「三方ヶ原の戦い」（1572年）のあと、対戦相手の武田信玄に対して、次は斬るぞという念を込めたのが始まりという俗説がある。
English: In reality, the two forms seem to have originated from the fact that samurai families favored the old-fashioned zundo while ordinary people preferred the showy sogi that they had developed from the zundo.
Japanese: 実際は武家が昔ながらの寸胴、庶民がそこから発展させた派手なそぎを好んだのが基らしい。
English: The event called 'Matsu-mukae' (literally, welcoming the pines) in which people climb mountains to collect pine trees (branches) is held around December 10.
Japanese: 12月の10日ごろに、山から松の木（枝）を取ってくる「松迎え」をおこなう。
English: In most cases, however, the kadomatsu is placed outside after December 25 because people today celebrate events such as Christmas.
Japanese: しかし、現代ではクリスマスなどのイベントもあるため、25日以降に設置される場合が多い。
English: It is believed that the kadomatsu should be placed before December 28 because to place the kadomatsu on December 29 means niju-ku (meaning double pain with the identical pronunciation as the number 29) or ku-matsu (waiting for pain) as the last (matsu) day ending 9 (ku) and also because to place it on December 30 or 31 is called 'ichiya-kazari' (one-night display) or 'ichinichi-kazari' (one-day display), meaning to treat the gods lightly.
Japanese: 12月29日に飾るのは「二重苦」、また9の末日でもあるので｢苦待つ」に通じ、12月30日12月31日に飾るのは「一夜飾り」「一日飾り」といって神をおろそかにするということから、12月28日までに飾るのが良い、とされている。
English: In many regions the display of the kadomatsu ends on the evening of January 6 and a display period until January 7 to match with the 'Nanuka-shogatsu' (celebration of the seventh day of the New Year) is called the 'Matsu no Uchi;' but the display period varies from region to region, as some regions display the kadomatsu until the Little New Year of January 15.
Japanese: 飾る期間は、1月6日の夕方に片付けて、翌1月7日の「七日正月」を併せて7日までを「松の内」と呼ぶことが多いが、地域により1月15日の小正月まで飾るなど、さまざまである。
English: Flower shops, hardware stores, gardening companies and builders create the kadomatsu, and some of them even offer a full service of setting and removing it.
Japanese: 生花店やホームセンター、造園業や工務店などで作られ、設置・撤去まで一括でおこなうサービスもある。
English: The average cost of receiving these services per pair of kadomatsu ranges from ten to fifty thousand yen (the more formal the kadomatsu is, the more expensive it will be).
Japanese: これらのサービスでは、1対あたり1万～5万円が相場であることが多い（本式になるほどさらに値が張る）。
English: Fewer people put up full-scale kadomatsu such as those seen in pictures probably due to a combination of concerns regarding the destruction of nature, environmental issues such as the used kadomatsu after the display period, the difficulty in obtaining straws and other materials, and the change in the social environment such as in the development of apartment buildings.
Japanese: 自然破壊や、設置期間の終了後にゴミになるなど環境問題などの関係や、藁など材料の入手難、集合住宅の発達など社会環境の変化などからか、画像の様な本格的な門松が設置されることは少なくなった。
English: As small kadomatsu of group planting style aimed at the average families hit the store shelves at the end of the year, some people put up this type of kadomatsu.
Japanese: また、一般家庭用に小さな寄せ植え風の門松などが年末に店頭に並ぶようになったため、このタイプの門松を置く場合がある。
English: For a simplified version of kadomatsu, a well-formed young pine, around which a bow of the decorative Japanese cord made from twisted paper in red and white or in gold and silver is tied, is attached to places such as gateposts, and has become popular for its ease of use.
Japanese: さらに省略版として、枝振りのいい若松に、紅白や金銀の水引を蝶結びにし、門柱などに付ける方法もあり、手軽なことから多く使われる。
English: In the commercial sector, full-scale kadomatsu are usually put up only by certain businesses such as large-scaled department stores or pachinko (Japanese pinball) parlors probably because many stores open on January 2 for the New Year sales; additionally, they are also often placed in front of office buildings that are almost deserted during the New Year holidays.
Japanese: 商店でも、現状では1月2日に初売りを行う場合が多いためか、本格的な門松が置かれるのは大型百貨店やパチンコなど一部の業種か、正月は無人に近くなる都心のオフィスビルなどに限られることが多い。
English: A lot of stores such as grocery stores only display posters with New Year's greetings which include the words 'Gasho' (Happy New Year!) or 'Kinga-shinnen' (I wish you a happy New Year) and pictures such as a kadomatsu, a crane, a tortoise, a sunrise, or the like.
Japanese: スーパーマーケットなど多くの商店では「賀正」「謹賀新年」といった語と、新年のあいさつ文、門松や鶴、亀、日の出などの絵を印刷したポスターを張って済まされることが多い。
English: The waka 'the kadomatsu is a milestone for the trip to the world of the dead, so it may or may not be happy' is said to have been written by Ikkyu Sojun, but some people maintain that his close courtesan Jigoku Dayu wrote it for him.
Japanese: 「門松は冥途の旅の一里塚めでたくもありめでたくもなし」の歌は一休宗純の作とされているが、一休と親交のあった遊女、地獄太夫が一休のために詠んだものとの説もある。
English: According to a theory, the custom of bringing pine home in the new year days started during the Heian period and the present-day style of displaying the kadomatsu at the entrance was adopted during the Muromachi period.
Japanese: 新年に松を家に持ち帰る習慣は平安時代に始まり、室町時代に現在のように玄関の飾りとする様式が決まったという説がある。
English: Shogatsu refers to the first several days of a calendar year and, from a cultural viewpoint, an event to celebrate passing of the previous year, which was uneventful, and the new year.
Japanese: 正月（しょうがつ）とは、各暦の年の始めの数日間のことで、文化的には昨年が無事に終わったことと、新しい年を祝う行事である。
English: In Japan, although only New Year's Day, January 1st, is a national holiday, at least the period of sanganichi (the three days) through January 3rd (sometimes including several days following it) is substantially a holiday period, and is actually called 'o-shogatsu' (a polite form of shogatsu).
Japanese: 日本では、1月1日の元日のみを国民の祝日としているが、実際には少なくとも1月3日までの三箇日（場合によってはそれ以後の数日間も）を「お正月」と呼んで、事実上の祝日と同じ状態となる。
English: Although 'shogatsu' is originally another name for January, shogatsu often refers to a period from January 1st to January 3rd (sanganichi) or 'matsu-no-uchi (this period is originally through January 15th, but currently through January 7th for some people.)
Japanese: 「正月」とは、本来1月の別名だが、現在は1月1日から1月3日まで（三が日＝さんがにち）、または「松の内」（元々は1月15日まで、現在は一部では7日まで）を指すことが多い。
English: For some people, shogatsu refers to a period from January 1st to January 20th, and January 20th is called hatsuka- (20th of a month) shogatsu (hone- [bone] shogatsu).
Japanese: また、1月20日までを正月とすることもあり、1月20日を二十日正月（骨正月）と呼ぶ。
English: There are two kinds of shogatsu, which are: 'oh-shogatsu' (large shogatsu) which is based on New Year's Day according to the solar calendar; and 'ko-shogatsu' (small shogatsu) which is based on January 15th according to the lunar calendar.
Japanese: 新暦の元日を軸とする「大正月」（おおしょうがつ）と旧暦の15日を軸とする小正月（こしょうがつ）と呼ぶものがある。
English: In some areas, oh-shogatsu is also called oh-doshi (large year) and otoko no shogatsu (men's shogatsu) and, in contrast, ko-shogatsu is called ko-doshi (small year) and onna no shogatsu (women's shogatsu).
Japanese: 大正月はまた大年（おおどし）、男の正月と呼ぶのに対して、小正月を小年（こどし）、女の正月と言うところもある。
English: January 8th (January 13th in the Kansai Region) is called 'shogatsu-kotohajime' (start of things for shogatsu) and people start preparation for shogatsu.
Japanese: 12月8日（関西では13日）を「正月事始め」と称して、正月準備が始まる。
English: Although only ganjitsu is a national holiday, governmental offices are closed from December 29th to January 3rd and many ordinary companies follow this schedule and close during this period (while many financial institutions such as banks are closed from December 31 to January 3rd [except their ATMs, etc.] and this period may be extended for system maintenance.)
Japanese: 元日は国民の祝日となっているが、官公庁は12月29日から1月3日までを休日としており、一般企業でもこれに準じていることが多い（銀行などの金融機関は、12月31日から1月3日までを（現金自動預け払い機等を除いて）休日とすることが多く、システムメンテナンスを行うため長くなる事もある）。
English: Therefore, the public transportation tends to operate based on the holiday schedule during this period including weekdays.
Japanese: このため、公共交通機関はこの期間中は平日も含めて休日ダイヤで運行する傾向にある。
English: On the other hand, until the 1970s (in the Kanto region) many retail stores used to be closed until around the end of matsu no uchi (January 5th to 7th), while the day in the new year on which retail stores started their operation became earlier due to the change of the people's lifestyles such as the appearance of convenience stores which operate 24 hours a day and, therefore, in and after the 1990s, many stores started their operation on the next day, January 2nd on a fewer-hours basis.
Japanese: 一方、小売業では、1970年代頃までは松の内（関東）の頃（1月5～7日）まで休業していた店が多かったが、24時間営業のコンビニエンスストアの登場などの生活様式の変化により、開店日は早くなり、1990年代以降は元日のみ休業し、翌1月2日から短時間体制での営業を始める店が多い。
English: More and more types of stores such as large-scale stores have also come to operate on ganjitsu though on a fewer-hours basis.
Japanese: 大型店など店舗によっては、短時間体制ながらも元日も営業することも多くなった。
English: However, as the influence of Buddhism became stronger, bon was combined with urabon, which is a Buddhist event, and became an event to hold a memorial service for one's ancestors while shogatsu was positioned to be a 'kami matsuri' (god festival) to pray for rich harvest of the year welcoming toshitoku-shin god (a god who controls the happiness of the year).
Japanese: しかし、仏教の影響が強くなるにつれ、盆は仏教行事の盂蘭盆と習合して先祖供養の行事とし、対する正月は歳徳神を迎えてその年の豊作を祈る「神祭り」として位置付けられるようになった。
English: Because kazoedoshi (a calendar-year age) is increased by one on January 1st, shogatsu also used to be an event to celebrate a safe increase of people's age.
Japanese: 数え年では1月1日に歳を1つ加えていたことから、正月は無事に歳を重ねられたことを祝うものでもあった。
English: Shogatsu lost such a meaning when people started to use the age based on the length of time from their birth, and shogatsu became an event to celebrate only the change of the calendar year (to welcome the new year).
Japanese: 満年齢を使うようになってからはそのような意味合いはなくなり、単に年が変わったこと（新年）を祝う行事となっている。
English: In Europe and the US, only January 1st is a holiday and financial markets, etc., start their normal operation on the next day, January 2nd.
