Coming of Age Day!

When girls and boys become 20 years old, they have the "Coming of Age" Day ceremony. On that day girls wear kimono and guys wear either Kimono or Suit.

For the occasion, there was a big meeting at the Kobe Home Stadium where my friends of the Brass Porteno held a small Performance.


Inside the stadium was really cold...They have been playing with blankets, gloves and warm patches...

Luckily the above patch has an adesive strip, so that you can stick it on your shirt or jacket. I had two of them on me ;)...

This is a picture showing the Brass Band position (at the bottom of the picture). Boys and Girls were sitting on the opposite side...

The Coming of Age Monday is a National holiday in Japan and it usually happens on the second monday each January.
