3. GenpukuGenpuku or genbuku was an historical Japanese coming-of-age ceremony. The etymology is atypical; in this case gen means "head" and fuku means "wearing". The ceremony is also known as kakan, uikōburi, kanrei, shufuku, and hatsu-motoyui . To mark the entry to adult life of boys between the ages of 11 and 17 (typically of about age 12), they were taken to the shrines of their patron kami.
