Coming of Age Day colours

As Japan’s population rapidly ages, traditional Coming of Age Day practices aren’t nearly so noticeable, with the number of those making their move into adulthood this year registering another record low — this time a meagre 1.33 million, which is a paltry 1.04 percent of the population.

Tranquil time out #39
