New Zealand Speech " Hiroshima Day "

Hi, I’m Aika. I would like to tell you about “ Hiroshima Day ”of New Zealand. In Japan, there are a lot of occasions that thinking about wars and peace because of the Japan was attached by the World War Ⅱ. In New Zealand, we can hear a word," Hiroshima Day " during August. On the day an atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, in other words, the day(August 6th), dropped the bomb the first time in the world. Various media take up a topic just like own history. Do you know New Zealand is nuclear-free nation? New Zealand has no nuclear weapon, nuclear power stations. So, that is the bomb which dropped in Hiroshima was the origin of nuclear-free. They have meeting of peace near the day. There are a lot of people who feel sad and shed tears thinking civilians of Hiroshima in New Zealand where is far away from Japan.

New Zealand & Japan

About　Customs

New Zealand is one of countries that it exists in the southern hemisphere. The shape of the country is similar to Japan, but the size is three quarters of Japan. The languages are English and Maori. It is easy to live due to good public safety and their climate. On the face of these, New Zealand is quite different from Japan. However, There are some points in common with both countries. I would like to tell about some information that compared the two.

● Traffic rules ●
New Zealand is a motorized society and people always go school or company by cars and buses. The almost 80% cars of New Zealand is made from Japan. New Zealand's drivers have to drive left side of road the same as Japan, so it is easy for Japanese to drive at New Zealand. Moreover, the fee of highway road is free in New Zealand. It is very facility and convenient, isn't it??. However, be careful about illegal parking, it is kept strict control over.

● Gesture ●
There are a lot of gestures in New Zealand and Japan. If they act same a gesture, it mean sometimes same meaning, but sometimes different meaning. For example, if you use a gesture that turns away your eyes from other people, the action means polite in New Zealand, but escape or indifference in Japan. Another example, if you shrug your shoulders, the action means people do not understand in New Zealand, but indicates boredom or tiredness in Japanese. Last example, if you hug someone,the action means show welcome, kindness and thanks.This is a common to the two contries.

Danjiri Festival

　I would like to tell you about the history of the Danjiri festival. Danjiri festival ( video )has been held for 300 years. The origin of the Danjiri festival is the “ Inari festival “. One of leathers who controlled one area in Osaka held the festival at Inari Fushimi shrine where is in Kyoto. The shrine held in the 16th the Genroku era. The festival’s purpose was praying for abundant crops example rice, wheat and bean. The time also developed industry of alcoholic drink in many areas of Japan. There is one episode that people who were concerned with industry of alcoholic drink operated the Danjiri due to carry alcohol. Time went by, generations and society changed. However, the spirit of connecting regions is unchanged until now.

Autumn Festival

I introduce a festival called " Naha festival ". That is one of festivals hold at my hometown. The festival was held for three days include Health-Sports Day every year. The most important event of the festival is tug of war! This hawser is made from straw and the size is listed in the Guinness Book. The tug of war divides region into two groups, east and west and vie with one another.

Ancient people prayed a rainmaking rite of rice farming, a bumper crop and symbolize trading city. These are the reason, the festival began.
