  • Little Japanese boy dressed in kimono for "Shichi-Go-San" at Heian Shrine in Kyoto.

As Shichi-Go-San is not a national holiday, it is normally observed on the nearest weekend.  Children are still dressed in kimono, many for the first time, for visits to shrines though western-style formal wear is also worn by some children.
