Holiday (Coming of Age)
Coming of Age Day, or Adult's Day, honors every
person that has turned 20 years old over the past
year.
The girls always wear a gorgeous and very
expensive kimono, and the boys usually wear a
regular suit and tie but a few will wear traditional
Japanese dress.
The ceremony takes place in every city ward around
Japan; everyone can attend the event at their local
city office at around 11:30am. Though the day
starts much earlier for these young adults,
especially the girls who spend countless hours fixing
their hair and makeup. After many tireless hours of
getting ready, they can then join up with others at a
select location where dozens of photographers are
waiting for them.
Traditional Recipe
(Yakitori)
Yakitori is made up of small pieces of
chicken meat, liver and vegetables
skewered on a bamboo stick and grilled
over hot coals.
