It is designed to be easy to read, so that expectant mothers and grandparents looking forward to the birth of their grandchild can enjoy it. From obi-iwai (celebration of pregnancy) to the first shrine visit, the first meal ceremony, and Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three Festival)... Let's create lasting memories of these once-in-a-lifetime milestones with the whole family, wishing for the child's healthy growth. Traditional celebrations are carefully explained, from their origins. Deepening your understanding will make the celebrations even more heartfelt. Furthermore, seasonal traditional events are also introduced. Teaching children about their origins and history will be good for their education. Ideas for spending quality time with the family are also suggested. Enjoying games, sweets, and dishes unique to events, such as flying kites at New Year's and eating moon-viewing dumplings, will make the memories even more special. Traditional celebrations come with customs. There are also concerns about troubles, such as children getting bored and fussy. This book suggests points for avoiding failures and tips for resolving them successfully. It also introduces basic manners that are surprisingly unknown, such as how to handle gifts received during celebrations and how to write thank-you letters. --------------------------------------------------
