A holiday since the current Japanese constitution came into effect on May 3 , 1947 , this is the only day of the year that the National Diet Building (国会議事堂, ''kokkai-gijidō'') is open to the public. Being a day that draws its significance from the Japanese constitution, Constitution Memorial Day is often chosen as a day to reflect on the meaning of democracy and Japanese government. For instance, in 2003 , a number of newspapers featured editorials regarding the constitution's embattled Article 9 . SEE ALSO
