Foods vary according to location and customs, and
partaking in meals as a close group or community
rekindles old feelings, emotions, memories, and
relationships.
Friends and family members journey far and wide to
reunite for the famous Thanksgiving dinner. In the US,
it’s the busiest travel time of the year, even more so
than Christmas season.
Japan also observes a Labor Thanksgiving Day, that
takes place every year on November 23, an occasion
for commemorating labor and production, and giving
each other thanks. This day has roots in an ancient
Shinto harvest ceremony.
Over the past few decades, especially through cultural
and commercial exchanges, folk and harvest festivals
emerged throughout the world, crossing borders and
being appreciated by larger and larger crowds in
different regions, locally and globally. Regardless of
country or culture, people enjoy participating in the
festive atmosphere and sharing in the fun of each
occasion, in any variation of autumn celebrations.
