Coming of Age Day; Michiko Nara

Hello, I posted my Blog before, however It was about "Nebuta Matsuri",not Japanese National festival. So I'm gonna write one more blog just for in case! I would like to introduce "Coming of Age Day"! It is a Japanese traditional holiday,which is on the second Monday in January. This is the day for celebrating for those who have became 20 years old. In Japan, those who have turned 20 years old are considered as a one of adult, and you will be allowed to drink or smoke. Normally women wear beautiful "Furisode",which is very similar to Kimono, and men usually wear suits. Furisode is a one of kinds of Kimono,but It's only for the women who haven't gotten marriged. After this traditional day, young people can realise that they became adult. So this is a very important holiday in Japan! Thank you for your reading, Cheers! Michiko
