They did everything a paparazzi, I do not if this is legal or ... should have difuninado faces I suppose, though I of these issues I have no idea.
I like the Japanese kimono, is a twist to the conventional.

But what cutest thing! The chibi-japonesitas are super cute with their mini-kimonos, hehe. They are like little dolls.
A greeting.
by cial, nuava'm here and I have added to my favorites, so you will see me more often commenting here. Congratulations on the blog, is kawaii!

I had heard as sichigosan (七五 三), a Shinto ceremony in which, as you say, children of 5 anyos and girls of 3 and 7, get dressed and go with their parents to shrines Shinto to thank their health and ask about the future, this custom originated because of the high mortality ninios before reaching this age once (though do not know the exact reasons).

The boys actually wear haori and hakama, and only the use Ninias typical "kimono", although sometimes they wear elegant suits "street", but not so much. (It reminds me of going to the Admiral, sailor or "street" to make the first communion, hehehe ...)

It is very funny to see in the windows of stores photos, photo samples Shichigosan along with weddings.

Greetings from Nara!

I HAVE PHOTOS OF YOUR FIRST COMMUNION THE STEP '

BECAUSE WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO SECURE TOMORROW K THIS DOES NOT WORK THE GOSSIP, I'M NOT ALONE AND NOT AS LAUNCHED MHE, DE CASUALIDAD.XC Take care. A KISS.

In the first photo it appears that the child is uncomfortable, we just like when you put the sailor outfit and take you like a puppet from one place to another for taking pictures with your family and friends.

you ask permission to take pictures is not as difficult alinkun and gestures also means ^ ^

To my shame I would also take pictures of people as well.

Bucana! We really want to see those pictures of the first communion of Alain!
So when you already know, or). Thanks in advance! hahahaha!

I think Shichigosan became a habit as Omia-mairi japonasa (when child is born, puts special dress and carries the Shinto temple) because my parents took me there while not Shinto as other parents.

They say that children could not live up to 3.5 or 7 years because of illness or otherwise, and these ages would bifurcation points of life (I can not choose the right word). But now the death rate of children or babies Japan is one of the lowest in the world.

Alain, the next time you ask permission to take pictures: すみません, しゃしん を とっても いい です か?
A greeting

Br1: No I have it very clear either, in case these days difuminare they face.

Patigochi: Thank you, glad you like it.

DAvid: Your information is always welcome. I made a small tweak to the post, by adding the name of the costumes of the children.

Bucana: Mother, do not have to Spreading those photos, ahhaa.

Sousuk3r: Yeah, but gives a bit of stick ask if this whole family taking pictures with children.

Toshiko: Thanks for the clarification. If yes, the sentence for taking pictures and I have learned it, but I am ashamed to ask for permission before the whole family.

Just to clarify: after much research I understood the ceremony q does not have sex but if age is to tell children they do this ceremony without distinguishing sex at 3 5 and 7 years is more, I found a bibllioteca and q at the beginning were made only to boys but not for women because mortality was larger q with time little boys began to carry the young women to be sisters of the ceremony was performed q and gradually he now does not distinguish sex
