I have read an article entitled 'coming age in Japan' written by David Weber. The author write about coming of age ceremony in Japan called SEIJIN-NO-HI. This ceremony is celebrate on second Monday of January when the girls and boys turn 20 year old. They are formally become and adult and have a right to vote ,getting married without parent premission and drink alcohol. This colourful ceremony turn a national day. The teenagers visit the shrine and listen speechess from the government representative.
In my oppinion, the Japanese teenagers nowadays are not understand about the spirit of this ceremony. Many of them are busy to show off their expensive kimono having their picture taken. After the ceremony, they enjoys having parties with their friends to celebrate the freedom and their legal alcohol drink. In addition, also waste money because they spend around hundreds or even thousands dollars to buy the expensive kimono.
In contras, this is the Japanese value in their comonity so that they feel happy to celebarte it.
