Japanese Father's Day (父の日)
Last month, we talked about Mother's Day in Japan, so it wouldn't be complete without mentioning Father's Day as well. Just like Mother's Day, it is a time to express love, gratitude, and appreciation for the fathers and father figures in our lives.
In Japan, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. In 2025, this special day falls on June 15th. Known in Japanese as 父の日 (Chichi no Hi), Father's Day may not be as widely commercialized as Mother's Day, but it is still an important occasion in many families.
The idea of celebrating Father's Day also came from the United States, where it was first established in the early 20th century. The custom gradually spread to Japan, becoming more recognized during the post-war period as international influences grew. While it does not have as long a history or as many elaborate traditions as Mother's Day, Father's Day in Japan has been steadily gaining popularity.
Unlike Mother's Day, which is associated with carnations, Father's Day in Japan has its floral symbol: the yellow rose. Yellow is believed to symbolize strength, courage, and warmth--qualities often associated with fatherhood. In recent years, it has become common to give yellow roses, or even other yellow-themed gifts, as tokens of appreciation. Although the origins differ, it is a coincidence that the symbolic color of Father's Day in both Japan and Thailand is the same: yellow.
In other countries, Father's Day may be celebrated on different dates and in different ways. For example, in Thailand, it is observed on December 5th, the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who is revered as the father of the nation. On this day, people often wear yellow and present canna flowers to their fathers as a sign of respect and gratitude.
Although customs and dates may vary, the spirit of Father's Day remains universal, It is a time to honor and appreciate the role that fathers and paternal figures play in our lives. As an international student at Iwate University, learning about these customs has been both heartwarming and eye-opening.
How do people in your country celebrate Father's Day? Let's share and learn from each other's traditions!
