National holidays in Japan and New Zealand

A Japanese flower arranging teacher, Kuniko, explains to her Korean student Soo, who lives in New Zealand, that there are many national holidays in Japan.

...

Soo: And tomorrow is…?

Kuniko: Thanksgiving for Labor Day. And so people relax in front of TV watching chambara.

Soo: Which means?

Kuniko: Samurai drama.

Soo: That’s nice. A proud culture. Sometimes some cross-cultural exchange?

Kuniko: It’s a scene from the Seven Samurai.

Soo: Nice. A national holiday and everyone recalls their history.

Kuniko: Don’t you?

Soo: Well, yes, in Korea but there aren’t so many holidays downunder. But you sometimes get scenes like this.

Kuniko: Is baseball part of the national culture down there?
