What makes the Japan calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Japan signature lives in the other dates: 成人の日 (Coming of Age Day, 12 जनवरी), found in no other country in the dataset; 建国記念の日 (Foundation Day, 11 फ़रवरी), found in no other country in the dataset; 天皇誕生日 (The Emperor's Birthday, 23 फ़रवरी), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from 憲法記念日 (6 मई) to 海の日 (20 जुलाई): 75 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 16 nationwide holidays and 成人の日 will fall on a सोमवार (11 जनवरी).
