Seven-Five-Three Festival
On 15 nov. in Japan
We have 753 festival tomorrow.
The custom of taking 5years old boys and 3 and 7 years old girls to the shrine to pray for their safety and health.
Long ago we all wear Kimono, you know! they start their hair growing from 3 years old, because to dress and arrange for Kimono, it means ”You are not BABY yet”.
And the boys start wearing Hakama, it is like a long pants from 5 years old, and from 7 years old the girls start wearing Obi with Kimono, so it means ”you are not a little girl yet !”.
We do these old custom to pray for children’s helth and safety.
It is too hard to wear the Kimono such a little child, but it is good experience for him or her !
I arranged and set my daughter SANA to wear and arrange her hair at my house. Because she is 3 years old NOW !!!!!
