SEIJINSHIKI 成人式

On the second Monday of January there is a national holiday in Japan to honor boys and girls entry into adulthood. Many of the girls dress up in special kimonos called "furisode" and go to special events with their friends. Age 20 also marks the time when they can legally smoke and drink. ** These girls were checking out their digital camera pics on the local train.
