I went to Japan 3 years ago and I got to know this festival.
In Japan you become an adult at 20 years old and, every year, on this occasion is celebrated a festival called Seijin no Hi.
Seijin no Hi festival originated in 1948, till 1995 it took place on January 15 but today is celebrated on the second Monday of January.
The party starts in the morning when in some places the authorities address the young adults and offer them gifts.
The girls wear a type of kimono, used by unmarried woman, called Furisode.
The boys wear the classic elegant western clothes or a kimono with dark colors.
At the beginning this cerimony was very stiff and formal but today is more suitable for young adults so that the party in Chiba prefecture is made in Disneyland.
