Japanese religions

This big red gate is called a torii. People who follow the Shinto religion go to these to pray.

Shinto shrines can be seen all over Japan. Shinto is one of the religions practiced by the Japanese people.

The highlight of a matsuri (festival) is the parade of portable mikoshi (shrines) through the streets to the temple.

“Taho-toh” or the Two Storied Pagoda of Itsukushima Shrine at Miyajima in Spring

Japan has many festivals, but New Year is the biggest. The festival is like a giant birthday party. Everyone adds another year to their age!

Children’s Day (Boy’s Day) is celebrated on May 5. Every family flies a carp kite or a windsock for every boy in the family.

Carp streamers fly on Children’s Day. The carp is a symbol of courage and perseverance.

Sometimes girls dress up like this on special days. They wear long dresses called kimonos. The Doll Festival or Girls’ Festival is held on March 3 rd. It is a chance for parents to celebrate their daughters.
