Between thirty and one hundred days old a Japanese baby is traditionally taken to a Shinto shrine to pray for good health and happiness. The custom is called “O-miya mairi.” And it is a special milestone in a Japanese baby”s life!
I love this photo from the kimonobox. It was taken in March 1969. The profile of the lady in special Miya-Mairi kimono is lovely.
