Initiative Project #1: Twelve Month Holidays [Japan]

« prev 8 in pool next »

Shichigatsu - Umi no hi.
July and Marine day/Ocean day.

Inspired quite greatly by Hoksai's (artist) own traditional and infamous painting of the Kanagawa Wave; Hokusai's wave has become almost synonymous with Marine day.

A day where the nation of Japan comes together to celebrate and show gratitude to the plenty that the ocean provides the island-nation. Of which it provides the majority of food, as well as having a significant historical point. Marine Day is about both oceanic conservation and thanksgiving, both by reverence and happiness.

This is part five to the initiative project, "Twelve Month Holidays" [Japan]
