The kanji “sai” or “matsuri” means “festival” or “ceremony” in Japanese. It represents traditional events celebrating gods, ancestors, or seasonal changes, often involving rituals, dances, and food. Festivals like these are an important part of Japanese culture.
In addition, “matsuri” is widely used in the commercial sphere on a daily basis in Japan, and although everything that benefits someone is treated as a “matsuri,” it is distinct from cultural “matsuri.”
「祭」という漢字は、日本語で「お祭り」や「儀式」を意味します。神や祖先、季節の移り変わりを祝う伝統的な行事を表し、儀式や踊り、食べ物を伴うことが多い。このようなお、祭りは日本文化の重要な一部です。
また、日本では商業分野で「祭」が日常的に多用されており、誰かの利益につながることはすべて祭りとして扱われるが、文化的な祭りとは異なります。
