In amongst the horror of the earthquake we had some good news to celebrate on Saturday. Our niece Yurina graduated from kindergarten and yes they do have a ceremony and kids and parents and grandparents dress up to the nines.
Yurina looked really cute as Nanna went to Hiroshima to buy new outfits for both herself and Yurina the previous weekend. Both scrubbed up very well indeed as you can see from the photos.
The children sang a song, gave a little speech about what they want to do when they grow up (Yurina told everyone she wanted to be a cake shop owner) and received their graduation certificates. It was nice to see some smiling faces.
In April, she will be a big primary school student as kids start primary school from age 6 and go straight to grade 1. There will be a big entrance ceremony at her primary school where all the new students are introduced to the school. Very big on tradition here.
