On this day, the Japanese government presents the Order of Culture at the Imperial Palace to those who have contributed to national and public affairs in fields such as culture, arts, fine arts, and performing arts. It also honors those who have helped shape a better and more refined Japanese culture through their love of freedom and humanity. Throughout Japan, many cultural and artistic performances and events are held on this day. Visits to museums and art galleries may even come with free admission, encouraging citizens to appreciate the arts and embrace values such as peace and freedom.
