Hatsumairi, Infant Presentation, Is May 19, 2019
Hatsumairi (Infant Presentation Ceremony) is a ceremony in which a child or grandchild is presented to Amida Buddha for the first time. In Japanese this presentation is also called Shosan–shiki, “The First Visitation.”
This year, Hatsumairi will take place on Sunday, May 19 at 9 a.m. preceding the Gotan-e Service. If you would like to have your child and/or grandchild take place in this ceremony, please complete the form (see link below) and return it by Sunday, May 12, 2019 to either Avis Honda (Dharma School Superintendent) or to the temple’s office. We ask that the participants be there at 8:30am.
