When will Japanese girls wear kimonos?

In the following situations, Japanese girls will definitely wear kimonos.

1. Daughter's Day

In Japan, Daughter's Day is a festival exclusively for girls. Every year on March 3rd, Daughter's Day, parents will build a ladder-shaped display platform for their daughters, with dolls wearing kimonos placed from top to bottom.

This kind of doll is called humanoid in Japan. Although Daughter's Day is not a national holiday in Japan, most family members try to get together and wish girls healthy and safe growth.

Celebrate adult day

In ancient Japan, the rite of passage was influenced by China's traditional "crown ceremony". In Japan, 20-year-old young people mostly wear traditional costumes and visit shrines to thank the gods and ancestors for their blessing. Adult Day is one of the most important traditional festivals in Japan.

On this day, the government will hold an "adult ceremony". If one day you go to Japan and see groups of girls wearing kimonos on the subway and on the street, most of them are celebrating Adult Day.
