From Respect for the Age Day to Mountain Day, Japan celebrates at least one public holiday during 11 of the 12 months throughout the year. The most recent holiday was Marine Day, which is celebrated on the third Monday of July. And while every resident took advantage of their day(s) off in their own ways, shoe fanatics got the chance to commemorate this year's Marine Day with a brand new pair of Ukiyoe-Style sneakers from Puma.
