From September 19 (Saturday) to 23 (Wednesday), we have had consecutive holidays in Japan due to the Happy Monday System (HMS). By revising a law, some of national public holidays have been moved to Monday. That is the HMS.
People in Japan, in general, have a five-day workweek. They have a day off on both Saturday and Sunday.
21st is Respect-for-the-Aged Day. 23rd is Autumnal Equinox Day. Then, the Japanese government has decided to make Tuesday, 22nd, “Holiday for the People” that is placed between them.
Japanese mass media called the holidays “Silver Week”.
But, the new Hatoyama administration did business without ceasing during Silver Week.
