Shichi-Go-San is a traditional rite of passage and festival day in Far east.
For three and seven year-old girls and three and five year-old boys, held annually on November 15.
Shichi-Go-San is said to have originated in the Heian Period (794-1185) amongst court nobles,
who would celebrate the passage of their children into middle childhood.

Chitose Ame, literally "thousand year candy", is given to children on Shichi-Go-San.
It is long, thin, red and white candy, which symbolizes healthy growth and longevity. A girl has it.
Hello Dear Ruma !
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your visit and comment on my blog.
Interesting tradition and the children are super dressed. It reminds me of a school party, when I was very young, with my classmates, we had disguised ourselves as characters from all over the world to sing in a circle the song "If all the guys in the world could hold hands", I was dressed as a Japanese woman and with my long hair I had a high hairstyle with knitting needles crossed in it.

Japón es un país que guarda muy bien sus costumbres y esto nos lo muestra a la perfección.
