月曜日、1月14日は成人式でした。 新成人の皆様、おめでとうございます！ 成人の日には街に振袖や袴姿の若人が現れ、目にも華やか。 個人的に1年の中に最も”街に出たくなる日”の一つです。 そもそも成人日が制定されたのは、1948年。 男児の成人の儀である「元服の儀」が小正月の1月15日に行われていたことから 1月15日を成人の日と決め、その後成人式も一緒に開催されるようになりました。 （2000年以降は1月の第2月曜日ですね！） 成人式の式典は、1946年に埼玉県の成人式が現在の形の最も古い事例と言われています。 こんなに馴染んでいる現代の成人式がまた70年ほどの歴史と思うと不思議な気がします。 さて、成人の日にほとんどの女性が着る振袖。 現代では未婚女性の第一礼装で、結婚式、パーティー、園遊会等、 未婚の女性の正式な場に振袖が一枚あれば、何でもござれの一枚。 2019年の成人式は、お母様やご自宅にある振袖に帯や小物を新しく買い 現代風にアレンジして着ることが流行ったとか。 そのままでももちろん、そして小物を変えて新しく・自分らしく。 素敵ですね！
