Seijin Shiki

Yesterday was a public holiday known as "Seijin no Hi" [成人の日] or "Coming of age day" where those who have turned 20 are declared adults meaning they can now do SDV (Smoke, Drink and Vote).
In the past, the coming of age day was celebrated only among samurai families - for boys it was between 12 - 16 and for girls it was between 12 - 14((Wikipedia).
Went with writer and art director comrade Andrew Lee (who took these pics) out n about to look for fluffy rabbits - and we found many.

成人式
昨日は新成人のふりをして、「素敵な大人になってください」と言われた度に「ハイ、ガンバリマス」と答えた。先ずは原宿に行ったのだが、新成人は少なかった。近道で渋谷のCC Lemonホールについたら、新成人がいっぱいいっぱい。
僕が20才になった年は全く覚えていない。。。
