2013.1.14

The last day of the three day weekend.  Today is a national holiday called seijin no hi (成人の日), Coming of Age Day.  In Japan being 20 is regarded as adult.  Each municipal government has its own celebration for the new adults.  Women usually wear long sleeve kimono called furisode (振袖) which are only worn by  unmarried women.  Furisode is very expensive.
It's been snowing since this morning and very cold.  Many transportations are out of service because of the heavy snow.
