35th of May or 32nd of August ?

Ռոշանակ (Roshanak)

Looking at the following post in X (Twitter) telling "this is the entrance to 32nd of August":

a memory came back from 55+ years ago all of sudden...I don't have accurate memory, but my mother took me to a hall in Yūrakuchō (有楽町) or somewhere else in Tōkyō.
I don't remember whether it was when I lived in Tachikawa or after moving to Itabashi in early summer of 1967, and there's no way to determine when it took place.

My late mother let me participate in a event titled "35th of May" (5月35日) for small children, a typical style of her… I only remember a scene where a traveller on the 35th of May saw someone washing the equator which was built by red bricks.

Just a Google search helped me find "The 35th of May, or Conrad's Ride to the South Seas" published in 1932 by German writer Erich Kästner (23 February 1899 - 29 July 1974).
Since the book had been translated into Japanese, I'm sure that event for children long time ago was based on this novel by Erich Kästner.

A Japanese translation by Iwanami Shoten, Publishers
Der 35. Mai oder Konrad reitet in die Südsee

This search had the unexpected byproduct of discovering that May 35 was a code word for the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
... One dark side of history...which should never be obliterated🙏

Here's another post with the same caption under the same X (Twitter) account is:

P.S. I have been on a tour of unexplored railway stations, but I am not a fan of dark tourism😎
