The Soto Mission of San Francisco, Sokoji, held its yearly Shichi- go-san (7-5-3) Ceremony in mid-November
Shichi- go-san actually equates to Seven-Five-Three and is a standard Japanese initiation rite event for kids ages 3, 5, and 7. These are thought about vital years in a kid’s advancement, and unique true blessings are provided at these times.
On this day, young boys (ages 3 and 5) and ladies (aged 3 and 7) gown up in either standard Japanese clothing or official Western gown and go to a temple or shrine with their moms and dads. Children get bags embellished with illustrations of a crane and turtle– signs of a long life and joy– with long, thin red and white chitose ame (thousand-year sweet) within. The signs show want a kid’s health and development.
