Anyone else have any photos from this year's event? Nothing like a bunch of young people dressed up! Here are a few I took.

It's like a mass Bar mitsvah, but I think they need to be circumcized

Ahhhh it's so pretty !!!! Wonderful pictures !!

I wanna do my seijin shiki too , but that's 2 years away from now .. (not that this bothers me heh )

By the way , are foreigners invited to the practice of seijin no hi ?? My friend told me I will be summoned by the Jinja or something incase I turn out 20 during my stay in Japan .......

YATTAAAAAA!!!!

Well, I can't say I've ever been to a seijinshiki but I did turn 20 in Japan and all my friends threw me a big party and generally made a huge deal out of it. Does that count?

So the coming of age ceremony is when you become 20 years old?

Ooooooh, Suki-Yaki!! You're asking for trouble...

My seijinshiki photo must be in some box unopened for decades, somewhere in the house.... Plus, it's not worth looking. My daughter takes after her aunt on her father's side...

eyaaaa ! You got me more eager to see it now !! o(^w^)o

By the way , the guys in the pictures are not wearing Japanese traditional clothes. Was it always this way, in a suit ??

Not that I'm assuming yours was so long ago , but how was it at your seijin shiki , epigene san ??



I heard girls usually draw after their fathers. But when they are that pretty , they draw after their mothers for sure !
