Children’s Blessing for ages 3, 5, 7 to celebrate the growth and well-being for young children.

Japanese people celebrate Shichigosan on November 15th. It is a ceremony that honors children and dates back to the 17th century in Japan.
For all children who are three, boys who are five, and girls who are seven. The age is counted in Kazoedoshi (Eastern Age). This is a very big day in their lives. Children are dressed in their best traditional, age-appropriate clothes and their parents take them to Shinto shrines to be blessed by Kami-sama. The parents and children both offer their thanks to the Kami-sama in appreciation.
For the parents, this marks a significant step in their child’s life and one in which the parents are grateful for the child’s health and well-being.

We can arrange Kimono rental and fitting as well as a photo shoot. Please contact us for details.


Includes: One “Shichigosan” (Special Children’s Blessing) Omamori and a Naorai Package
