Japan today

The Japanese culture is rich in ceremonies and traditions that revere the family. Japan has been able to minimize the influence of foreign cultures for centuries since it is an island country. This allowed a distinct culture and heritage to develop for the beautiful Land of the Rising Sun.


Details from your Japanese ancestors' lives will enhance your family history with key rites of passage, festivals of celebration, and unique attire and style.


A Cultural Rite of Passage: Hatsu Miyamairi


A treasured family ritual for the close loved ones of a newborn infant is Hatsu Miyamairi, or Omiyamairi, which means "shrine visit." For this particular rite of passage, the baby's parents or grandparents take him or her to a Shinto shrine. This Japanese Shinto ceremony, which is performed 31 days after the birth of a boy and 33 days after the birth of a girl, expresses appreciation for the child's birth.


Babies are usually carried by their grandmothers, clad in a white kimono or special white garment. The shrine priest offers a prayer for the newborn's health and happiness.


Today's Japanese Culture


Residents of Japan must be aware of earthquakes and tsunami warnings due to the potential of earthquakes and the fact that the country is surrounded by water.
