Cute little girl taken at Meiji Shrine (明治神宮), located in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

Shichi-Go-San ( “Seven-Five-Three") is a traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for three and seven year-old girls and three and five year-old boys, held annually on November 15. Boys who are aged three or five and girls who are aged three or seven are dressed in kimono (many for the first time) for visits to shrines. Three-year-old girls usually wear hifu (a type of padded vest) with their kimono. Western-style formal wear is also worn by some children.
