My profession is a beautician. I made her hair style and I took pictures of her. In Japan they perform a congratulation ceremony when you become 20 years old.
When a person reaches 20 years of age, they are considered to be an adult in Japan. People celebrate the adulthood of those reaching 20 on what is known as seijinnohi, or coming-of-age day. This celebration used to be held on January 15th, but it was moved to the second Monday of January in the year 2000.
Each town and city has its own ceremony. The “new adults” go back to their hometown to attend the ceremony, so it is a good opportunity for them to catch up with old friends.
Many women wear furisode, colorful, long-sleeved kimono, and have their hair dressed in a formal style while some men also wear kimono with hakama. Many of the people take a photo before the ceremony is performed.

Share on FacebookExtremely delicate scenes, romantic and superbly delicates. A strong "Bravo" for this sharing, changing what I see in general. Could you, please, add the material you use ? I like Japan and dream to come back soon :-)
Photos demonstrating identity and place, confidence and spirit, self-assuredness and preparation. Photos tell the story well.
This is beautiful, but the title is misleading... It's the ceremony that seems to be the highlight here, right? Plus, providing some additional information such as, for example, the official adult age. But the meaning that you described, my dear, isn't any different from any other modern country...
