Happy Children's Day 2026 From Around the Anime World, Part II
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Children's Day falls at the end of the long Japanese holiday season known as Golden Week. The week starts with Showa Day on April 29, then continues with Constitution Memorial Day on May 3, Greenery Day on May 4, and ends on Children's Day on May 5. However, because Constitution Memorial Day landed on a Sunday in 2026, the holiday weekend was extended one more day with a Substitute Holiday on May 6. Japanese creatives lump the holidays into one massive celebration, especially for Greenery Day and Children's Day. Take a look at some Greenery and Children's Day art from around the anime and manga world:
