Today, I took my daughter to the Ooi Jinjya Shrine in my home town for "お宮参り." (Omiya-Mairi, "The first visit to the shrine")
Omiya-Mairi is a kind of Japanese Shinto based ritual.
Roughly speaking, the purpose is reporting baby's safe one-month growth and conveying appreciation to the (Shinto) God.
As it's a very good day today for celebrations, there were lots of families for not only Omiya-Mairi but also Shichi-Go-San which is another Japanese traditional ritual for children. :)
Well, pictures?
Ha ha, they are not public. If you'd like to see them, please write to me. :)
