Coming of Age Day (成人の日, Seijin no Hi) is a Japanese holiday held annually on the second Monday of January. It is held in order to congratulate and encourage all those who have reached the age of majority (20 years old) over the past year, and to help them realize that they have become adults. Festivities include coming of age ceremonies (成人式, seijin-shiki) held at local and prefectural offices, as well as after-parties amongst family and friends.
During this day the 20 year old boys go around in nice suits and the girls in traditional kimonos that range from one thousand to ten thousand dollars. Anyways, I headed down to Tenjin and got some picture of and with the girls.
Theses girls were really nice, and asked for me to get in the picture.
Anyways, that is it for now. A long day of teaching ahead tomorrow.
ladies man.
