to put huge paper fish, resembling a
carp. on bamboo pole outside the
door. This is done in the first month
Of May after the boys birth. The
carp is the chosen emblem, because 1t
Is strong and hardy and is typical Of
good luck. When the baby is month
old 1t is presented at the temple and a
first name given it, the choosing Of
which is novel. The father writes on
three slips of paper different names.
The priest prays, losses the slips in the
air and the one first striking the floor
is supposed to be especially favored by
the god Of the temple, and is chosen.
When the Japanese baby is years
old he begins to wear the obi or girdle,
which confines the loose robe worn by
all Japanese and commonly called
kimono. When the boy is Is he is con-
sidered of age, and feast is held by
his relatives, another name is given
him and his head no longer shaved on
top. He Is now man and his rela-
