What is "Shichi-go-san"?

Shichi-go-san is Japanese traditional ritual which cerebrate children's good, healthy growth. In general, 7 years old girl(seven is "shichi" in Japanese) , 5 years old boy(Japanese say 5 "go"), and 3 years old girl(3 is "san" in Japanese) go to the shirine in Shichi-go-san. However, there are few opportinities to have three children who are 7,5,3 years old, so nowadays it is not important how old chileren are.
Children wear kimono, which is Japanese traditional clothes, and then they pray for their great growth, and health. After the event, they are likely to be taken many photos.

Shichi-go-san is a Japanese traditional ritual that celebrates children's good, healthy growth. In general, 7-year-old girls (seven is "shichi" in Japanese) ,  5-year-old boys ( 5 is "go"in Japanese), and 3-year-old girls (3 is "san" in Japanese) go to the shirine on Shichi-go-san. However, there are few opportunities to have three children who are 7, 5, 3 years old, so nowadays it is not important how old children are.
Children wear kimono, which is Japanese traditional clothes, and then they pray for their        growth and health. After the event, it's usual to have many photos taken of them.

1. Use "a" to mean "one of many".
2. Use the relative pronoun "that" when the two phrases are dependent on each other.
3. This is the correct spelling of the word "celebrates". You should also use this form (It celebrates...)
4. Place the plural form on the word "girls" as you are talking about all girls that age.
5. Place the plural form on the word "boys" as you are talking about all boys that age.
6. This is the correct way to express this.
7. Place the plural form on the word "girls" as you are talking about all girls that age.
8. Use the preposition "on" when talking about a certain day. (on Monday, on Christmas day)
9. This is the correct spelling of the word "opportunities".
10. Make sure you leave a space between each number.
11. This is the correct spelling of the word "children".
12. The word "growth" is positive making the word "great" unnecessary.
13. I think this is what you are trying to say.
It sounds like a beautiful celebration. I'm curious, how do the rituals or prayers during this event differ for boys and girls? Are there any specific traditions or practices unique to each gender during Shichi-go-san?

There is no difference in the context of ritual itself between sexes. But it is not the same which type of traditional clothes the boys and girls wear. Althogh both boys and girls wear kimono, boys also wear Hakama , which is like pants, and they wear it on the kimono.

There is no difference in the context of the ritual itself between the sexes, but the type of clothing each gender wears is different. Although both boys and girls wear kimonos, boys also wear Hakama, which is like pants, that they wear on the kimono.

1. Use the article "the" to talk about something specific.
2. Use the article "the" since you are talking about specific sexes.
3. You shouldn't begin a sentence with the word "but". It is better to try to join the two sentences using a comma. I believe this is what you are trying to say.
4. This is the correct spelling of "although".
5. The boys wear a kimono and the girls wear a kimono. This means that you are talking about more than one kimono and should use the plural form. The word "kimono" is one of the foreign words that we apply English rules to.
6. You don't need a space between a word and a comma.
7. Use the relative pronoun that when the two phrases are dependent on each other.
Thank you for clarifying the clothing distinction! The Hakama sounds interesting. Do families observe Shichi-go-san at specific shrines, or do they choose any shrine for the ceremony?

In my case, I and my families went to the big famous shrine where a ritual about Shichi-go-san was held. But I think it is more important where families take photos rather than where they go to give a specific rituals.

自然な表現

In my case, I and my family went to the big famous shrine where a ritual about Shichi-go-san was held.  What is more important is where families have their photos taken rather than where they go to have a specific ritual.

1. You may have many members in your family but you only have one family.
2. Instead of beginning the sentence with the word "but" you can begin it with "what"
3. If you begin a sentence with "what" you need to include a be verb before an adverb of place or time.
4. Use the passive tense here as the person doing the action is not the subject of the sentence. It is someone else.
5. Use the verb "have" here to refer to celebrating something.
6. The article "a" means that you are only talking about one thing. Therefore, you don't need the plural form.
I agree with you that it is more important where families take photos than where they go to give specific rituals. What are some of your favorite places to take photos for Shichi-go-san?

The event of shichi-go-san is held on the Novenver, so many people choose shrine with beautihul autumn foliage as photo spots. I cannnot remember the name of shrine where I and my family took photos at shichi-go-san because I was participated that event about 15 years ago, but I remember the place was so big shrine in Yamaguchi prefecture and mamy people gathered to see a wonderful fall scenery.

The event of Shichi-Go-San is held in November, so many people choose a shrine with beautiful autumn foliage as photo spots. I can't remember the name of the shrine where I and my family took photos at Shichi-go-san because I participated in that event about 15 years ago, but I remember the place was such a big shrine in Yamaguchi prefecture and many people gathered to see the wonderful fall scenery.

1. Use the preposition "in" with months.
2. This is the correct spelling of November.
3. Use "a" to mean one of many.
4. This is the correct spelling of beautiful.
5. "Cannot" is quite formal. "Can't" is the standard form.
6. Use the article "the" to talk about something specific.
7. Use the preposition "in" with the word participated.
8. Use the phrase "such a" with a noun. (shrine)
9. This is the correct spelling of "many".
10. Use the article "the" to refer to something specific.
It sounds like you have a fond memory of attending the shichi-go-san event at a beautiful shrine in Yamaguchi Prefecture many years ago. I understand that it can be difficult to remember the name of a place after so much time has passed, but I can try to help you. Do you remember any other details about the shrine?

I also remember the event about how hard it was to walk around the shrine wearing kimono, and I can recall the memory of getting the chitoseame, which is very cute candy, because I was so happy to eat it. However, I cannot remember the other details of shrine any more. My grandparents lived in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi prefecture, and we went to the shrine by car from my grandparents' house. So I suppose that the shrine is near from shimonoseki.
