Shichi-go-san (seven-five-three celebration)
We offer prayers to express gratitude for your child’s growth to the kami and pray for his or her healthy growth into the future.
In the past, when nutritional and sanitary conditions were poor, simply seeing your child live to the age of three, five, or seven marked an auspicious event.
The shichi-go-san celebration originated in such times. Even today, ages three, five, and seven are celebrated with prayers expressing joy and gratitude for the child’s growth.
Chitose candy represents our wish for the child’s continued growth and long life.

Safe delivery
We offer prayers to express gratitude for the gift of life and for a safe childbirth for both mother and child.
It is customary to perform this ritual on the Day of the Dog around the fifth month of pregnancy, as dogs are said to be fertile and have easy births.
The prayer for safe delivery is the first ritual in the life of the child.
Receiving a prayer in front of the altar allows you to prepare mind and body and approach childbirth with peace of mind.
