Little Japanese boy dressed in kimono for “Shichi-Go-San” at

KYOTO, JAPAN – 2010/11/14: Little Japanese boy dressed in kimono for “Shichi-Go-San” at Heian Shrine in Kyoto. Shichi go san, literally meaning 7-5-3, is a traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for children the age of seven, five or three. It is held annually on November 15. As Shichi-Go-San is not a national holiday, it is normally observed on the nearest weekend. Children are still dressed in kimono, many for the first time, for visits to shrines though western-style formal wear is also worn by some children..
