Coming of Age Day
Just so happens the day before
I leave Tokyo, it's Coming of Age Day in Japan, a celebration of young men and
women who are turning or just turned 20. Johnnie was invited by his students to
attend the ceremony in the neighborhood, so naturally I tagged along. What a
sight! Every girl there was wearing a kimono, and there were hundreds of them.
They were dazzling. Johnnie wrote more
about it in his blog,
along with a photo.
