Shichi-Go-San
celebration for seven year old is exclusively for girls.
The
basic color of the kimono is pink with a flowered design
with
date-eri.
Like three years old's kimono, a collar of
nagajyuban
has a beautiful embroidery. The
obi
has an auspicious
crane design with gold and silver thread and gold foil.
An
intricately tie-dyed fabric is used for the
obiage,
which is
above the
obi
and helps secure the obi. Unlike adults, children
use a soft obi type of pattern
called shigoki. It is a colorful
long ribbon that is wrapped around the bottom part of the obi as
a decoration. The young girl wil complete her ensemble
with accessories of an
obi-jime,
zori,
a fan, and
hakoseko.
which are made from the same fabric.
