This childrens' festival is very old.
Shichi-Go-San is a Japanese custom that began in farming villages, where children often died young.
On November 15th, both boys and girls who are 3 years old will make their first debut at their local shrine wearing traditional Japanese clothes.
On this day, girls aged 3 and 7, and boys aged 3 and 5 visit shrines with their parents for special blessings. The parents offer prayers to the gods to thank them for the healthy growth of their children.
