Labor Thanksgiving Day

November 23rd is a national holiday, named Labor Thanksgiving Day.

It used to be a historically ritual, called "Ni-Name-Sai"or "Shinjo-Sai", celebrating harvest of cereals such as rice, wheat, and so on.

Usually, in this season of a year, the trees change colors to red, yellow or orange, but this year that transition seems slow.
