Which term is associated with a Japanese Coming of Age Day?

• A. Khatam al Quran
• B. Gwendolyn Brooks
• C. Seijin no Hi
• D. Debuts

Answer: (C)

Seijin no Hi is the term used for Japan’s Coming of Age Day. It literally means “Coming of Age Day,” and it’s the national celebration for those who have reached adulthood, typically turning 20. It’s observed on the second Monday of January, with ceremonies nationwide where young adults dress in formal attire and hear messages about new responsibilities as they enter adulthood. The other terms don’t relate to this Japanese holiday—one is an Islamic milestone for completing the Qur’an, another is a famous American poet, and the last is a general term for first appearances or debuts.
