today is SEIJIN NO HI... Ano ang ibig sabihin? Ibig sabihin nyan ay COMING OF AGE DAY..It is a Japanese holiday held annually on the second Monday of January .. you will see that i uploaded a calendar to see the red numbers/red day..Pag sinabing red calendar , ibig sabihin din nito ay holiday dito sa Japan...it is held in order to congratulate and encourage all those who have reached the age of majority 20 years old (in nihonggo HATACHI~ 20 years old) over the past year, and to help them realize that they have become adults.Twenty is considered "legal age" here in Japan, and it is from this point on that a young adult can purchase alcohol,smoke and vote. You will see some photos here that mostly women wearing KIMONO ; for men, a tailored suit or traditional HAKAMA.
Holiday today, January 12 in Japan
