SPECIAL HOLIDAY EVENTS
Pretty simple. Special events that occur on certain holidays are posted here for you to look over!
Shichi-Go-San
Boys who are aged three or five, and girls who are aged three or seven are dressed in kimono - many for the first time - and taken to visit a shrine. Three-year-old girls usually wear hifu (a type of padded vest) with their kimono. Western-style formal wear is also worn by some children. A more modern practice is photography, and this day is well known as a day to take pictures of children. Chitoseame (thousand year candy), is given to children on Shichi-Go-San. Chitoseame is long, thin, red and white candy, which symbolizes and ensures healthy growth and longevity. It is given in a bag with a crane and a turtle on it, which represent long life.
