Shichigosan is a traditional
festival day in Japan for children aged three, five and seven. It is on the
fifteenth of November. On the 15th of November children who are aged three, five
and seven will go to a shrine to drive out evil spirits. Old Japanese thought
that on the age of odd number years, which is up to thirteen, something
important would happen to the child. Today, boys who are aged three and five,
girls who are aged three and seven will dress up in kimono and have fun. They
get a long stick of red and white candy.
