Seijin Shiki

The Coming of Age Day holiday is held the second Monday in January every year. The holiday is held to welcome everyone whose 20th birthday falls between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current year old into adulthood. How did I stumble upon this? Well in typical Joseph fashion I was wandering around, saw something odd and decided to take a closer look.

This particular Coming of Age Ceremony was held by the city I live in. By and far the girls dressed up in kimono's, while the boys wore suits. There really was no ceremony per say, just a a bunch of new adults talking to their friends.
