Choyo no Sekku, or Chrysanthemum Festival was a Rokugani holiday that took place on the sixth day of the first month of Summer, celebrating the day that the Kami were believed to have fallen to the earth. Though the actual festival lasted only one day, for eight straight days, four before the festival and three after, all labor stopped. Not even the peasants took up their tools, making this one of the most popular celebrations of the year.
