coming-of-age ceremony

成人式

Coming-of-Age Ceremony is a traditional event that celebrates a person's entry into adulthood, marking a major milestone in life. It has been celebrated as a child's growth into an adult who takes on social responsibilities. Coming-of-Age Ceremony is a ceremony for young people who have turned 20 to be recognized by society as independent individuals and to renew their resolve for the future.

Wearing gorgeous furisode kimonos and dignified haori and hakama, they celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime special day. Ichirindo will add a touch of elegance to the new adult's start with the finest tsumami zaiku crafts, perfect for a special occasion.

Shichi-Go-San

Celebrating Children's Growth

Shichi-Go-San is a traditional Japanese event celebrating the healthy growth of children. In ancient Japan, it was believed that "until the age of seven, children are gifts from the gods," and due to undeveloped medical care, a child's growth was considered special. Shichi-Go-San involved performing rituals at the milestones of ages three, five, and seven to firmly establish the child's soul in this world and pray for their health and longevity.

Every year, around November 15th, children dress in festive attire and celebrate Shichi-Go-San.

Ichirindo wishes for the healthy growth of your children and offers the finest tsumami zaiku.

  • Material|Silk

    "KAWAMATA" once referred to the silk from this region in Europe. Established in 1918, Konno Silk Mill is now the only mill in Japan capable of weaving "karume habutae" (light habutae silk). They weave the industry's thinnest threads using the difficult "nure-yoko" (wet weft) technique.
    Each flower of Ichi Rindo is crafted from silk.

  • Technology | Handcraft

    With your fingertips, you pinch a small piece of cloth and transform it into a flower. One by one, each flower, down to its core—the "kashin"—is tied by hand. It is in these extra steps, omitted in mass production, that the beauty of its form resides. Each is a flower that a machine can never create.

  • Tailoring|Lasting

    Each piece is carefully crafted with traditional, high-quality "starch glue." This ensures that the petals will not fall apart or fade over time. From your Shichi-Go-San day to your future Coming-of-Age ceremony, these pieces can be remade and re-arranged.
    We will continue to watch over your special days for a long time to come, adapting to the changing times.

    The Japanese-themed series of figures, a source of national pride, has become a collector's dream, not only for its realism but also for its exceptional value, achieved by using authentic kimonos and accessories for every detail.

    At the entrance to Bar Kabi on the 28th floor of the Asakusa View Hotel, a landmark of the old downtown area, you'll find a Bonsai-style "Sakura" (cherry blossom) made from Tsumami-zaiku.

    Guests enjoy views of Senso-ji Temple and Tokyo Skytree through the windows, experiencing the charm of the old town. (The flowers change seasonally.)

    This was created in collaboration with Oji Fiber Co., Ltd., which produces OJO+, an environmentally friendly paper thread (God's Thread) made from natural washi paper, with the aim of promoting Japanese technology to people not only in Japan but all over the world by expressing the company's social nature through traditional crafts.
