Naming a Japanese Baby.

Often the naming of a Japanese
baby is a simple matter. the father or
grandfather speaking before the COM
pany the name Of some famous man,
If the child Is a boy, or Of some IA
vorite flower, If it is a girl. For girls.
Hama flower; Yuki, snow, All, love,
are the favorites of parents with
poetical strain.
The sterner country folk choose for
their daughters, Matsu, pine; Take.
bamboo (the bamboo joints are exact;
hence the exactness of virtue); Ume.
plum, since the plum bears both cold
and snow bravely For boys, Ichiro,
first boy; Toshio, smart; Iwao, strong.
and Isamu, brave, are very popular.
Where belief is strong in the power
of name, the family, in holiday dress,
often assemblies in large room. Each
writes name upon slip of paper and
lays it reverently before the house
shrine. From the group a very young
child is chosen and led before this
shrine, and the fate of the name is de-
cided by the small hand which reaches
out for slip. Though it is festive
occasion, the selection of a name is
made with a seriousness worthy the
election of bishop. Many believe de-
voutly that this rite influences the
babys entire future, and therefore the
one whose slip is chosen incurs from
the moment of choice great RESPONSE
hility for the child's welfare.
