Furisode (振袖)

Today I put on Furisode 振袖 (Kimono　着物) to have my pictures taken.

Furisode looks very gorgeous and beautiful, but it is very heavy!! XD

Girls wear Frurisode and men wear Hakama to celebrate their coming of ages.

We have Seijinshiki　(成人式) in January which is a ceremony for people who are twenty years old.

In Japan, people who are over 20 years old are admitted as grown up.

If you are over 20, you can have most of the rights, such as voting, drinking, free marriages. ;)
