Unit of Work (3rd / 4th Class): “Shichi-Go-San Festival: Celebrating Children and Pets in Japan”

Contains: The article discusses a trend in Japan where pet owners bring their dogs and cats to a traditional festival for children called “Shichi-Go-San” to receive blessings. The festival is held at a local shrine where parents pray for their children’s future. The article mentions that Japan’s birth rate is decreasing, and as a result, more people are treating their pets as important members of the family. The shrine has created a specific prayer site for pets and expects the number of pets receiving blessings to increase in the future. No warnings are necessary for young audiences.
