little princess with dad 小姫とお父さん (Meiji-jingu)

It's November yet again, and along with the passage of seasons comes the ascension of children into adulthood; nationwide, children aged 3, 5, and 7 dress in elaborate kimonos, and go to temples to perform in ceremonies celebrating their gradual passage into adolescence.

what a precious little girl... she looks a bit comprehensive about the 'passage ceremony" - very sweet expression - great capture!
