[For Senior Care Facilities] Fun and Engaging! November Quiz (1–10)
Shichi-Go-San is a celebration of children’s safe growth and a prayer for their continued healthy development. When is the official date?
Shichi-Go-San is a celebration of children’s growth, with 7-, 5-, and 3-year-olds as the stars.
It’s said that the event, originally held in the Kanto region, spread to Kyoto and Osaka and from there across the country.
So, on which day in November is Shichi-Go-San, the celebration of children’s growth, held? Here’s a hint: in the old lunar calendar, it was considered an auspicious full-moon day, and after the switch to the modern calendar it has continued to be held on the same date or on nearby holidays.
The answer is November 15.
Among the days in November, which is a time to thank the gods for a bountiful harvest, this full-moon day was chosen because it was believed that demons would not wander about on that night.
What is the November national holiday that originates from the promulgation of the Constitution of Japan?
The Constitution of Japan is an important constitution that defines the form of the state in Japan.
Speaking of a November holiday that originates from the promulgation of the Constitution in 1946, what would it be? Since Constitution Memorial Day is May 3, it must be a different holiday—the hint is what the Constitution means to Japan.
The answer is Culture Day, a holiday intended to “love freedom and peace and promote culture.” In addition to the Constitution, it serves as an opportunity to value Japan’s diverse cultures, with various events held across the country.
November 11, 1999 was designated as the anniversary of a certain famous snack. What is that snack?
Since November 11 features repeating digits, it is said to be the day with the most commemorative observances after October 10.
There are dozens of observances such as Noodle Day and Salmon Day, but the most famous is surely Pocky Day.
Pocky is one of the flagship products of the confectionery maker Ezaki Glico, and because the shape of Pocky resembles the number 1, the celebration started on the auspicious date when six 1s line up: November 11, 1999 (Heisei 11/11/11).
Incidentally, Pocky was born in 1966, debuting as the world’s first stick-shaped chocolate snack.
From November 14th, events such as lectures and health consultations about a certain disease will be held across the country for one week. What is the disease?
Even within November, which is a prevention month for a certain disease, the week that includes November 14 is designated as a period of heightened awareness.
What disease is it that we are encouraged to think about through various events such as health consultations and lectures? Here’s a hint: if you think of a representative lifestyle-related disease that can cause a variety of complications, you might come up with the answer.
The answer is “diabetes.” It’s a time to seriously reflect on the dangers of diabetes and how to prevent it, in conjunction with World Diabetes Day on November 14.
What is the fish that inhabits only the Pacific side of Hokkaido and comes into season around November?
Turning our attention to foods that are especially delicious in a given season is an important way to feel the passage of the seasons, isn’t it? So, what is the fish that comes into season around November and lives only on the Pacific side of Hokkaido? You might guess it if you think of a fish that’s often eaten with roe and that many people feel is available year-round.
The answer is shishamo.
The ones you see in supermarkets are usually a different species called capelin (or karafuto shishamo), while the true shishamo is an endemic species of Japan.
“XX biyori” is an expression used around November. What characters go in XX that don’t easily evoke an image of November?
Just as numerous seasonal words are used in haiku, there are many expressions that describe the temperature and atmosphere of the seasons.
Among them is an expression used from late autumn to early winter around November: “◯◯-biyori.” Here’s a hint: it contains a character that doesn’t seem wintry, and many people might mistakenly think it’s a spring term.
The answer is “koharu-biyori.” Originating from Chinese classical texts where it was used as another name for the tenth month in the lunar calendar, it refers to warm, calm, sunny weather in winter.
November 2 is Conveyor Belt Sushi Day. In which prefecture is the restaurant located that first opened a conveyor belt sushi shop in the world?
November 22 is widely known as Good Couple Day in Japan, but it’s also Conveyor Belt Sushi Day.
It was established in honor of the birthday of Yoshiaki Shiraishi, the chairman of “Mawaru Genroku Sushi,” who invented conveyor belt sushi.
Although conveyor belt sushi is now familiar to everyone, its origins go back further than you might expect: the first restaurant opened in 1958 in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture.
Later, when “Mawaru Genroku Sushi” exhibited at the 1970 Osaka Expo, it became hugely popular, and conveyor belt sushi spread nationwide.
