Two young boys and their older brother just before their shichi-go-san ceremony in the Meiji Jingu shrine, in Tokyo, Japan. During shichi-go-san, literally seven-five-three, parents dress their daughters aged three and seven and sons aged five in traditional costume and take them to a Shinto shrine for blessings. Sometimes boys perform the ceremony already at the age of three, though in bygone times they were not supposed to wear hakama trousers until they were older.
