3 A painful coming of age ceremony for groups of teenage boys

Crocodile men of Papua New Guinea


The Niowra people live near the Sepik river in Papua New Guinea.
This river is full of crocodiles. The Niowra believe that crocodiles
made the world and its people. When a group of teenage Niowra
boys comes of age, they have to go to a hut
called ‘The Crocodile Nest’. They stay here
for weeks and older men hit and cut their
backs and chests to make ‘crocodile skin’
designs. This is very painful, but the boys
have to think of their crocodile ‘fathers and
mothers’ and this helps them to be strong.
When they leave the hut, they are men.

Coming of Age in Japan


In Japan, young people come of age at 20. In most parts of the country,
Japanese people celebrate this in a special ceremony on the second
Monday in January. They call it ‘Seijin no Hi’ (Coming of Age Day). On this
day, old schoolfriends from the same area who are just (or nearly) 20 go
5 together to their local town hall to listen to government officials make
speeches. Then they get a certificate and a small present.
Things begin early for the girls. They have to wear special clothes and
have their hair and make-up in an ‘Old Japanese’ style. In the early
morning, girls put on a traditional kind of Japanese dress, a ‘kimono’, and
10 special sandals. Kimonos are expensive, so most girls have to hire them.
Most modern Japanese girls can’t put on a kimono or do their hair in a
traditional way, so they pay a ‘dresser’ and a hairdresser to help them get
ready. This can take three hours. Some boys still wear a traditional men’s
black kimono, with ‘hakama’ (baggy striped trousers), but most boys
15 these days wear a western suit and tie. After the town hall ceremony,
the young people go to eat and drink together or with their families.
‘Seijin no Hi’ is an old tradition. It began in the year 740 when a young
Japanese prince changed his clothes and hairstyle to show that he was
now an adult. However, many young Japanese people today think that the
20 ceremony is boring and expensive, so the number of young adults taking
part is smaller every year. This change worries older Japanese people.
