Blog - Hozumi

Japan Hozumi

Today is Hozumi, that's a way "August 1st" can be read in Japanese, although it's not common and probably not everyone knows that. There are several days of the year like that which have one or more special readings. Here are the ones that I could find.

April 1 = Watanuki, Tsubomi
May 1 = Satsuki, Ao
May 7 = Tsuyuiri
June 1 = Urihari, Murihari, Kusaka
August 1 = Hozumi, Hosomi, Hosomichi, Hotsumu, Hassaku, Yafumi
August 25 = Nakaaki, Akinaka
August 31 = Hatsumi, Hozunomiya
November 29 = Tsumezume
December 1 = Shiwasuda
December 31 = Hizume

Hozumi is my birthday. :)

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the cool information (I've never heard of any of these Japanese days). Now you've got me curious enough to try and learn more about them.

Happy Birthday Chipple :) Gosh! What a coincidence I stopped in on your birthday! I see MHenke (or am I mistaken re:Markus) has beaten me to the celebration -- it is however good to know I am in such wonderful company ... Have a great day - cheers!

Hi Mauro,
