In Japan, there are many holidays and other great days. We can tell only a few here.
The fifth birthday of a boy is a great day in the family. The boy puts on a shirt like the one his father
wears. It is an important moment in his life and means that he must now be a manly little boy like his
father. He must smile when he has pain (疼痛) or trouble. He must carry on.
The day a girl becomes seven years old is a big day in the family. She may now wear a sash ( 腰带)
like the one her mother wears. Her friends and her mother"s friends come and drink tea and eat cakes.
