• Comment. Assuming that it would be 親子デー, I looked for this and found lots of oyako days, this one not among them. But instead it's 親子の日, whose website is here; or in English, here. ja:WP has a (non-) article about it (as is normal in ja:WP, this is a series of lists uninterrupted by any citation of a reliable source). -- Hoary (talk) 23:23, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment (again). As is normal in Japan, there's little available without payment on the web that isn't either (a) merely promotional or (b) mere bloggery and similar chit-chat. But yes it exists and yes it's written up in Mainichi Shinbun: for example, in an article here that we can read the beginning of without paying and all of if we do pay. I'd guess that somebody interested could find enough material via 毎索, the Mainichi Shinbunsha database, to put together a short article. However, that person isn't me. ¶ Now that we know what this is called in Japanese, and therefore how to look it up in Japanese, the situation may have changed since Kintetsubuffalo nominated it for deletion. (If Kintetsubuffalo then knew its Japanese name, they didn't say so.) I'd be interested in a new comment from Kintetsubuffalo. -- Hoary (talk) 22:27, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
