Dutch Sundays in Japan

The Dutch word for 'Sunday' turns up in two different forms on the island of Kyushu in Western Japan. In May each year, the city of Hakata holds the extravagant Dontaku Festival. Dontaku is derived from the Dutch word for Sunday 'zondag'. According to one account, in Meiji Japan (late 19th Century), the Dutch word was appropriated for 'holiday' and then came to be applied specifically to festivals held on holidays and now survives as the name of the Hakata Festival. The term, has however, spread. There is now a wrestling event held close to or during the festival in Hakata called Resuringu Dontaku (Wrestling Dontaku). One other word to come from this rendering of 'Sunday' is 'handon'. This means 'half Sunday or half holiday' and seems in fact to refer to Saturdays in parts of Kyushu.
More recently, the town of Hirado has introduced the Hirado Zondag. This is held on every third Sunday of the month  Here, the local women dress up in Dutch clothing and tea is served free. While the use of dontaku may originate from the Dutch and indeed European custom of making Sunday a day of rest, the Hirado Zondag seems aimed at celebrating the historic link between the Dutch and Hirado, where the Dutch had a trading post from 1609-1641. In both cases, there is also at least one eye on the tourist trade.

    Hello Guys!!! I am Ruth I live in Ohio USA I’m 32 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Adriano. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met Adriano because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Adriano sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for small fee to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to Adriano because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Adriano's email address is adrianohackers01@gmail.com

  5. Every investor will always tell you that there's no better time to invest in the financial market. I've been into forex and binary trade for quite a while now, and I must say it really goes with loss without the right approach and strategy. I have gotten to the point where I understand that strategy is a key element of a long term successful trading. You can keep making wins at the beginning of a period and later, you start making losses toward the end of the trading period or even halfway. This results from little or no attention to the need for sustenance and consistency with the prevailing market structure. I've earned about $38,150 so far this month trading with Mr. Gavin ray strategies and working with his help trading for me. You may never find it easy trading on your own. If you are tired of losing so much money, I recommend you contact him via email- gavinray78@gmail.com or Whatsapp; +1 217-339-4023 he’s a genius trader.

  15. <<i stumbled across your site by accident (i think following a link trail from someone else's site) and i wanted to let you know how much joy and nostalgia this gave me, I just want to say Bitcoin has bounced back and is currently trading slightly above $17,000 support zone against the US Dollar and the bulls are so much in charge to see BTC to $50,,000 and ahead. Its still a great time to day trade with the little you hold and its not still late to buy little BTC and grow your portfolio as i have been doing with Mr Bernie Doran for the past 6 weeks now and i came to understand that you can make profit from the market at anytime and its even profitable when BTC is bullishing so your portfolio can grow too. His signals are so accurate and yields lots of profits, using his signals has made me 5.34 BTC with my initial 0.7 BTC which you all traders/investors will see is profitable. This is the most beneficial means of trading as experienced, you can reach out to Mr Bernie through Gmail : bernie.doranfx01@gmail.com or telegram : bernie_fx for more inquiries

  17. My name is Susan Angle, I Am from Toronto, Canada. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALS for their invaluable guidance in the world of cryptocurrency investment and money recovery Before I came across SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALS, my husband and I had limited knowledge about cryptocurrency which is why we ended up being victims of bitcoin fraudulent we had lost hope in recovering our large amount of money back But when we came across this company and read about many reviews on how we can get back our money we decided to try although at first, we were hesitant again there is no harm in trying knowing the fact that it was a large amount of money we decided to try it out we have never been happier their expertise and mentorship opened up a whole new world of recovering our money back. Their insights and dedication showed us a path to success we never knew existed.

  18. There are several unfortunate scenarios in which users may find themselves in desperate need of Bitcoin recovery services. I got to know the reason why people do try in life no matter the mess you must have put yourself try as much as you can to wake up and try again, I have always made decisions based on my gut feeling and just like every bad decision they always sound or look too good to be true but we go into it anyway out of desperation or having any lingering problem that needs to be sorted financially. I found this amazing hacker at the point of deciding to take my life with a fake online investment. I invested my life savings of 720,000 dollars on a fake online investment platform I met on the internet. The Techradar platform is the site where I met the scammer who went away with all my life savings. It's easy for unsuspecting users to fall victim to these fraudulent schemes, resulting in the loss of all types of cryptocurrency. Saclux Comptech Specialst has the expertise to investigate such incidents and recover the funds, protecting users from financial ruin. When you reach out to a Saclux Comptech Specilast for assistance, You have to open up about your situation and how you want them to be of help to you.

In my search for a hacker, I was able to recover my stolen money back with the help of Saclux Comptech Specilst. Contact them now via email: sacluxcomptechspecialst@engineer.com Or
