Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3 festival)
Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) is a traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for 3 & 7 year old girls and 3 & 5 year old boys. In Asian numerology, odd numbers are considered lucky. This festival is held annually on November 15th (or the surrounding Saturdays if it doesn't fall on a weekend) to celebrate the passage of the children into middle childhood.
