Just a brief post to give you some information of the Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) Festival in Japan. As you can see from the above link, the ages of 3 and 7 are very important for girls in Japan (3 and 5 for boys). Clara visited the hairdressers and then the kimono shop on Saturday the 27th October. After her hair was styled and the kimono made just right, we all drove to the photographers shop to see Clara posing for the photos which would be made into a special album. We had also planned to make a customary trip to a shrine, but the heavy rain made that goal unrealistic. Shame as that would have been a great photo opportunity.
After a busy September and October, November is proving to be a quiet month. Work is pretty easy at the moment and I am taking the chance to go swimming and running (around the Imperial Palace) as much as possible. Friday the 23rd of November will be a long holiday weekend in Japan so I am hoping we can do something nice. I'll try and do another blog in the next week or so.

Wow, what a pretty girl, so glad she is getting over her nasty cold. Glad to hear you are exercising, keep it up.
Clara is obviously loving it. Can't wait to see the pictures. When can we see you in traditional Japanese dress?
The kimono looks beautiful.
I hate Dutch people.
Time for an update, I think.
Time for an update, Davidson.
