一月九日は孫娘の成人式でした。横浜だけで約三万六千人が新成人になるそうです。横浜アリーナで午前と午後に二回にわけて行われました。
心配していた雨もあがり、晴れ着を汚す心配もなくほっとしました。
大した混乱もなく式典は無事とり行われたそうです。
これからは一人前の大人として、いろいろ責任も重くなっていくことでしょう。頑張ってほしいです。
従兄弟にあたるミックンも晴れ着姿を見るのが嬉しいらしく始終ニコニコ顔でした。「ママが二十歳の時に着た物だよ」と古いママの写真を見せてあげました。

Last January 9 was a national holiday. It is called Coming of Age Day. Youths who will be turning 20 this year celebrate this national holiday. This is a transition period from being a child to adulthood.
Each city has its own celebration. In my area, lots of youth gathered at Yokohama arena to attend the ceremony.
My granddaughter was one of them. In Yokohama City, about 36,220 youths will be adults this year.
The Mayor of the city or a famous people often give messages to these youths. Sometimes, concerts are held.
I let my granddaughter wore a kimono because it is a traditional way to do so. I have been keeping this kimono in good condition for 25 years which my daughter had worn before.
My 11 year old grandson was so happy to see his cousin wearing a beautiful kimono so I showed him the old picture of his mother wearing the same kimono.
