The 14th of every month honors Doctors in Japan
Every month on the 14th is recognized in Japan as Classico Doctor’s Day (クラシコ・医師の日). The anniversary was created by Classico Co., Ltd., a Tokyo‑based company known for designing and producing high‑quality medical apparel.
The date comes from a simple piece of Japanese wordplay: 1 (い) + 4 (し) can be read as ishi, meaning doctor. Classico established the day to express ongoing gratitude and respect for medical professionals who work in demanding environments.
Classico Doctor’s Day encourages people to acknowledge the dedication of healthcare workers and the value of well‑designed tools, such as the uniforms Classico manufacture, in supporting their daily efforts.

Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com
