SUMMARY:5th annual SEIJIN-shiki USA

This highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on January 13\, 2024\, at Bellevue College Carlson Theatre. \nSEIJIN-shiki\, the celebrated Japanese coming-of-age tradition\, is a cherished annual event throughout Japan.

With inclusivity at its core\, the event is conducted entirely in English\, with the vision of establishing a new American tradition where the coming-of-age celebration becomes a common practice. \nSEIJIN-shiki USA is an exceptional occasion for all individuals\, regardless of their nationality\, to share and experience the beauty of Japanese culture.
