Seijin no Hi – Japanese Coming of Age Day

Yein Jee — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:42:51 +0000

Seijin no Hi (成人の日; literally adult’s day) is a national holiday in Japan which falls on the second Monday in January each year. The holiday is for young Japanese who reached the legal age of adulthood (20) to celebrate their new status.

A Seijin Shiki (成人式; coming-of-age ceremony) is normally held in the morning at local city offices where politicians and academicians will give speeches reminding the new adults of their social responsibilities. The Shin Seijin (新成人; new adults) would often visit a shrine after the ceremony to make their wishes and go for parties later on.

Young ladies are often seen in traditional Furisode on the day, while guys in business suit or traditional Hakama. Sharing a few 2009 pics by Dannychoo the Stormtrooper in Tokyo; obviously a paradise for photography geeks…
