Japan celebrates "Kinro Kansha no Hi," or Labor Thanksgiving Day, every year on November 23. The holiday originates from an ancient rice festival. On this day, the Emperor of Japan would offer the season's first rice harvest to the gods and taste some himself.
After World War II, the holiday's purpose changed to honoring Japanese workers. On this day, children make thank-you cards for teachers and local workers. Communities hold ceremonies to show appreciation for the work they do throughout the year. While some areas hold small parades, the holiday largely focuses on gratitude and respect for labor.
