The second Monday of January is a holiday in Japan. We call it seijin-no-hi (成人の日).
We celebrate seijin-shiki (成人式) for people who become 20 years old. In Japan, when we become 20 years old, we are considered to be an adult. We get the right to vote, and legally drink. It is the important period for all of them.

I really loved the color and design of this furisode because it is very classical.
At the ceremony, most women wear traditional cloth, furisode (振り袖) at this ceremony. I attended my coming of age ceremony last year. I have never worn Japanese traditional cloth, so it was a great opportunity. Many people, even passengers on the train, told me that I was beautiful. I felt that I became a model.
