The adult ceremony in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, which was not held at the venue last year due to the influence of the new coronavirus, was held on the 9th, over a year.
The ceremony on the 9th was held last year for those who could not attend because the ceremony was canceled at the venue, and about 150 people gathered in the hall of Odawara City at the venue.
Participants in plain clothes were conspicuous because they were invited to participate in regular clothes in order to reduce the burden of preparing for sunny clothes, and as the infection of the new corona spreads again, the temperature was measured at the reception and the hands were disinfected with alcohol, as well as guests. It was done by taking measures against infection, such as forgoing attendance.
A video message from Mayor Teruhiko Moriya was played at the venue, saying, "I think that the infection spreads at an important time and there are many difficulties, but I believe that this experience will bring a lot to my future life." I sent that.
After the ceremony, outside the venue, I was seen taking a commemorative photo with a friend I met after a long time.
One of the female university students who participated said, "I was sad that I couldn't get together with everyone last year, but I'm glad that I was able to meet with such an opportunity. I'm studying medical care while taking responsibility as an adult. I want to do my best to help society in Corona. "
This year's seijin-shiki will be held on the 10th.
