Sophie	Takumi, my calendar says April 29 is a holiday. What is it?
Takumi	It's Showa Day. It's the first holiday of Golden Week.
Sophie	Showa? Is that a person?
Takumi	No, it's the name of an era, from 1926 to 1989. April 29 was Emperor Showa's birthday.
Sophie	Oh, so it's a birthday party for the emperor?
Takumi	Not exactly. The law says it's a day to look back on the Showa era.
Sophie	Interesting. Has it always been called Showa Day?
Takumi	No! It's had four names. When my parents were kids, it was Greenery Day.
Sophie	Greenery Day? Why green?
Takumi	The emperor loved plants. He was a scientist, too.
Sophie	Wow, I didn't know that. So what do people do on Showa Day?
Takumi	Many people start their trips. I'm visiting my grandparents.
Sophie	Maybe you can ask them about life in the Showa era!
Takumi	Good idea. My grandpa has lots of old photos.
