-- The Seven-Five-Three Festival --

Place : Chiba
Taken by : Satomi and Yudai
Memo :

Shichi Go San (The Seven-Five-Three Festival) is a celebration for seven, five, three year-old children on November 15th. The age 3,5, and 7 are odd numbers which are considered to be lucky. Parents dress their children (Girls of age 3 & 7 and boys of age 3 & 5) in their best clothes and visit shrines. They pray for the good health and the happy future of their children.

Children Get the Same Number of Chitoseame (a Long Stick of Candy) as Their Age.

Praying for the Good Health and the Happy Future of the Children.
