November 15th, people visit shrines for Shichigosan.
Shichigosan is a traditional abservance of children's growth.
Boys of three and five years of age and girls of three and seven
are dressed up and taken to a shrine.
There they pray that the god will protect the children as
they grow.
From ancient times, odd numbers have been considered
lucky in Japan. That is why children are feted at ages three,
five, and seven.
You will see little girls in kimono and little boys dressed up,
holding paper bags with pictures of a crane and a tortoise.
There are long sticks of candy inside of the bag called
'Chitose-ame'. Chitose means a thousand years, ame means
candy. It bears the wish that the children will grow up
healthy and live a long life.
