JIA Foundation will host the 3rd annual SEIJIN-shiki USA, the US-Japan Friendship Coming of Age Celebration, on January 16, 2022. The ceremony is held in English and welcomes anyone whose birthday falls between January 2000 and March 2002, and who resides in the USA.

SEIJIN-shiki, the Japanese coming of age celebration, is held every January across Japan. It is an opportunity for the community’s newly emerging young adults, new SEIJIN, to be recognized and welcomed into society. JIA Foundation has brought the tradition to the USA. Our SEIJIN-shiki is an opportunity to share and experience Japanese culture, and to build friendships amongst the “Class of SEIJIN 2022.”

The 3rd annual US-Japan Friendship Coming of Celebration is co-hosted by JIA Foundation and the Consulate-General of Japan in Seattle.
