Today is a national holiday started in 1872 that marks the establishment of Japan in 660 BC by the possibly mythical emperor Jimmu.
More to the point, it marks one year since non-emperor Jimmu* and I arrived. There are nice men driving black and gray trucks with pretty red and white flags all over the city blaring imperialist music and shouting guttural slogans... surely welcoming us?
I'll head out and see if I can get a vid...
*This is in fact how "Jim" is pronounced in Japanese.
