-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To the children 

who are celebrating "Shichi-go-san,"*
let's offer them heartfelt congratulations 

and the very best of good wishes 

for their sound growth.
The great memories 

experienced by them as they grow up 

in the "garden of kosen-rufu"

will become the force that 

supports them in their futures.

*Shichi-Go-San ("7-5-3") is one of Japan's traditional festivals, celebrated on November 15th originally for three and seven-year-old girls and five-year-old boys. On this day, prayers and wishes are offered for the healthy and happy futures of the children.
