Riki celebrated his first ceremony for Hatsuzekku and Okuizome here in Japan. May 5th is a children's day in Japan and is a day especially for the boy. It's a tradition here in Japan to get a warrior's helmet for their baby boy. By doing this, the family is hoping that their baby boys can grow up strong just like a warrior. We can choose the warrior which we like and get his helmet. We chose a warrior which is named Date Masamune. This helmet will be displayed throughout May and can only be displayed once a year. As for okuizome, it's a tradition when baby is encouraged to start eating normal food. This is usually celebrated when the baby is 100 days or 120 days. Since we have a party for the Hatsuzekku, we have the ceremony for Okuizome at the same time as well. It's good to celebrate all these ceremonies with the family here in Japan. We're very grateful to God that Riki has been growing well and he's been surrounded with so many nieces and nephews here in Japan.
