We went to Sumiyoshi-shrine for Omiyamairi by train.
I like Sumiyoshi-shrine a lot because I also went to there for ceremony when I was small and have good memories.
Omiyamairi literally means"a visit to a shrine.Omiyamairi is a Shinto ritual similar to the Christian baptism ceremony. It occurs when the baby is about one month old. Baby wear a special kimono draped over baby. As the baby's grandparents hold him/her, the priest presents the news of the birth to the guardian spirit of the shrine, and offers thanks. He then asks the spirit to protect the baby and keep him/her healthy.
Sushi lunch at Sumiyoshi park
We are putting Himo-sen (string-money) and some decoration goods to Kimono.
This is to pray baby's health and long life without being poor. The number of envelops for Himo-sen should be many because it means many people are blessing the baby.
It doesn't mean Meiko is collecting money for herself :p
Hinata and Mizuho (my brother's wife) visited us and had dinner together.
