Shichigosan (7-5-3) is an event which celebrates a child's growth in Japan. It is a ceremony to be held in the 3rd year, the 5th year, and 7th year, after a baby is born. The ceremony is held in temples and shrines.

And children wear a beautiful kimono and eat "long life candy (long and slender candy bar)". The candy is a present from the parents for a child. 

If you will visit the temples and shrines in Japan around November, you will be able to see the smiling face of the children who wore the lovely kimono. 

七五三（7-5-3）は、7歳・5歳・3歳の時に、こどもの成長を祝う日本での行事。その儀式は、寺社にて行われる。そして、子供たちは美しい着物を着て、千歳飴（細長い棒飴）を食べる。その飴は、親たちから子供へのプレゼントである。11月頃に日本の寺社を訪れれば、かわいい着物を着た子供たちの笑顔を見ることができるだろう。
