What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again. What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all? No Coining - All Rights Reserved

Seijin Shiki

The Coming of Age Day holiday is held the second Monday in January every year. The holiday is held to welcome everyone whose 20th birthday falls between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current year old into adulthood. How did I stumble upon this? Well in typical Joseph fashion I was wandering around, saw something odd and decided to take a closer look.

This particular Coming of Age Ceremony was held by the city I live in. By and far the girls dressed up in kimono's, while the boys wore suits. There really was no ceremony per say, just a a bunch of new adults talking to their friends.
