Coming of Age Day 2011 - 成人の日2011年

Coming of Age Day is a Japanese holiday which celebrates crossing the bridge from adolescence to adulthood at the age of 20. Celebrations take place at the local government offices, and the women wear kimonos with furisode (振袖) (long sleeves that drape down), while the men usually wear suits, but sometimes wear traditional dress (dark kimono with hakama).
