Oshichiya(お七夜,N ame giving ceremony)
Oshichiya is a celebration held on the 7th night after a baby is born.
We have a "naming ceremony" where we announce the name of the new born baby, and we have a celebratory meal with the people who have gathered.
Omiyamairi(お宮参り,Shrine visit)
Omiyamairi is an event to report to the shrine that a baby is safely one month old, and to pray for their healthy growth in the future.
Omiyamairi is often performed around 31 or 32 days after birth for boys and around 32 or 33 days for girls.
On this site, boys are calculated as 31 days old and girls as 32 days old.
Hatsu-zekku(初節句,First festival)
Hatsu-zekku is the first festival that a baby receives after being born.
Boys celebrate on May 5th on "Tango no Sekku", and girls on March 3rd on "Momo no Sekku".
If Hatsu-zekku comes before Omiyamairi depending on the date of birth, it is common to do Omiyamairi first and then Hatsu-zekku in the following year, so in that case the calculation is for the next year.
Okuizome(お食い初め,First meal)
Okuizome(First meal) is a celebration held on the 100th day after a baby is born.
I imitate feeding the baby with the wish that "I will not have trouble eating."
