Today is Coming-of-Age Day.
It is a national holiday.( the second monday of January )
Today, "coming-of age ceremony" is held in every city(or town).
It is a ceremony for the people who reached ( or will reach ) 20 years old during current school year.
I took photos above in front of the hall which the ceremony is held.
I think the ceremony is simple, some speeches and some attractions.
Almost ladies who attend to the ceremony wear Furisode.

That is such a sweet ceremony! But why 20? I'm so used to either 18 or 21. This is the first time I've seen fur-trimmed furisode too. I like how it looks — very elegant. And warm.
Tkanks all.
Hilda; Because the age of majority in Japan is 20.
I love all Japanese ceremony.
