如果我不说，可能很多人都不知道今天在日本是个假日(废话，我说了还是很多人不知道)。今天是什么假日呢？是一个我从没听过的。。。成人の日 (seijin no hi)。别乱想，这成人日不是一天你可以随便看成人电影，或今天日本政府特别鼓励成人做一些”成人的事”。今天是凡满20岁的青年，将隆重的庆祝他们已成年了(在日本，20岁算成年了，但是奇怪，在出租DVD的地方，18岁以上就可以观看情色电影了，那么是不是说在日本，未成年可以观看情色电影？不说了，小心被扁)。刚满20岁的成年人在今天隆重庆祝，有的去神社，有的地方政府会特别的安排一些仪式给他们。而漂亮的日本女生们将穿起成人的和服(不漂亮的穿了和服也是漂亮的啦)，有的甚至去发廊做个造型。
从以上的点点滴滴，我们可以看得出来他们是多么的注重这一天的到来。很可惜，今天我们没去到神社，本来要到广岛出名的一个岛游玩，那里有一个非常著名且特别的神社。如果今天我们去，该可以看到很多日本女孩穿和服(可惜睡迟了)。不过没关系，让大家看一些前些日子(好像才上周的事而已)我们在神社拍的日本女孩(穿和服)的样子。让大家过过瘾。。。
怎样？看了过瘾吗？哈哈。。。
此外，我在Wikepedia找到了一些有关-成人の日的资料，不过是英文的，跟大家分享一下：
Seijin shiki (成人式) is the Japanese coming-of-age ceremony. It is held annually on Coming-of-Age Day (成人の日, seijin no hi), the second Monday in January. Festivities include ceremonies held at local and prefectural offices and parties amongst family and friends to celebrate passage into adulthood.
History
The festival was created as a national holiday in 1948, when Coming-of-Age Day was set to January 15. In 1999, as a result of the Happy Monday System (ハッピーマンデー制度, Hapii Mandei Seido), Coming-of-Age Day and thus the seijin shiki was moved to its current date of the second Monday in January.
Current practice
The age of majority in Japan is 20. The seijin shiki covers all those who will reach this age during the current school year, which runs between April and the following March. The ceremony is generally held in the morning at local city offices and all young adults who maintain residency in the area are invited to attend. Government officials give speeches, and small presents are handed out to the new adults.
Many women celebrate this day by wearing a kimono with furisode (振袖, furisode) (long sleeves that drape down). Since most are unable to put on a kimono by themselves due to the intricacies involved in putting one on, many choose to visit a beauty salon to dress and to set their hair. A full set of formal clothing is expensive, so it is usually either inherited or rented rather than being bought specially for the occasion. Men sometimes also wear traditional dress (dark kimono with hakama).
After the ceremony, the young adults often gather in groups and go to parties or go out drinking. Young women not used to wearing the zori slippers (草履, zōri) can often be seen limping as the afternoon wears on and evening approaches. Later in the evening, it is not unusual to see wobbly young adults staggering in the trains, heading home after a day of celebration.
