成人式 (Coming of Age Ceremony)

Monday, 01/10/2011: Seijin no hi, or Coming of Age Day, is sort of like a huge "sweet 16" party for Japanese kids that turn 20 during the year. In Japan you're not officially an adult until you're 20 years old, but when you turn 20 you're allowed to vote, smoke and drink (officially). Because of this, a ton of people get drunk at the ceremony. But they're beautiful drunks:




This girl may be a maiko (geisha-in-training) that turned 20



Some Korean-Japanese girls wear traditional Korean Hanbok
