Shichi-Go-San

---

Shichi-Go-San stands for 7-5-3 and its is a rite of passage celebration for young boys and girls. Girls that are at the ages of 3 and 7, and boys that are at the age of 3 and 5 go to a shrine to pray and be blessed. The children are dressed up in traditional Japanese clothes.

I was so excited to see the kids celebrating with their families at the shrine. They are so adorable! I was lucky enough to be able to pictures with some kids. If you explain to parents that you are a foreigner and want to take picture with their kid they usually say yes. I haven't had a family say no. 😊
