Please upgrade to version 1.6.


For version 1.4.2 and older users:
Holiday law in Japan has been changed since 2007.
- 'Green day' was moved from April 29th to May 4th. And April 29th became 'Showa day'.
- If national holiday appeared on Sunday, the most closer day other than either Sunday or national holiday after that date will be set as the substitute holiday.
Therefore, if one of May 3rd-5th would be Sunday, 6th is the substitute holiday.
j-calendar version 1.4.2 or older versions did not support above holiday law.
For those who are using version 1.4.2 or older, please upgrade to 1.5.4 or later version.
This substitute holiday rule is starting at 2008.
