("Shichigosan" is a children's festival that originated in the Heian period in the seventh century and spread to the common people in the Edo period. In the Edo period, the daimyo (feudal lords) had to deal with the problem of descendants, and if they didn't have descendants, their names would be revoked by the shogunate (Tokugawa shogun) or their families would be destroyed. However, for some reason, even if the first lady of a daimyo's family was lucky enough to conceive, she rarely gave birth to a male child, and even if she did succeed in having an heir, she was usually weak and sickly, and there were many instances of untimely deaths. Worse still, the sidekicks were often not immune to such bad luck. That is why the retainers always had to work hard to find a suitable adoptive son. The same was true of the private sector. In the Edo period, there was a proverb that said, "If a child is not yet seven years old, he is the son of a god or a Buddha." This means that until the child reaches the age of seven, the parents are only temporarily taking care of the child in place of the gods and buddhas. Therefore, if a child before the age of seven suffers a tragedy, the parents usually do not conduct an official funeral; on the other hand, if a child commits a crime, not only does he not have to be sanctioned, but the parents' sins do not involve the child. This was due to the fact that the society of the time, especially in urban areas, was characterized by environmental degradation as a result of the rapid increase in population, the spread of cholera and influenza, the lack of modern medical equipment to prevent them, and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters and famine. In the Edo period, the population remained at a certain number and increased slowly, which was one of the main reasons for the early deaths of young children, in addition to the late marriages in the society as a whole. Because of this, customs such as the "Seven Nights Day" on the seventh day after a child's birth and the "Shrine Worship Day" on the first day of the full moon were practices to pray for the child's successful growth. These customs have been passed down to the present day. The Shogun's family was no exception to this practice, as both the daimyo and the commoners took great pains to provide for their descendants. By the time the Tokugawa family reached the third generation of Shogun Iemitsu, his descendants had lost the roughness and toughness of the Warring States period, and Iemitsu's homosexuality was a source of great anxiety for Kasuga, Iemitsu's nurse. Iemitsu was only blessed with his first son (the fourth shogun) when he was thirty-seven years old, and his second son (the fifth shogun) was born to his concubine when he was forty-one years old; the first son was born weak and sickly, so Iemitsu could only put his hopes on his second son. When his second son was five years old, Iemitsu couldn't wait to choose an auspicious day to celebrate his second son and pray that he would grow up to be a man. This auspicious day was November 15th. This is how the "July 153 Festival" spread to the daimyo and the common people.)
