Ceremonies & Stages of Samurai Childhood

"Edo-era childhood was differentiated into various stages, each of which had its expectations and goals for advancement. Movement into each succeeding stage was socially marked by ceremonies involving family and friends and entailed changes in dress and hairstyle that indicated clearly even to strangers what stage the child had achieved." (Roberts, Growing Up Manly: Male Samurai Childhood in Late Edo-Era Tosa)

Shaving an infant's head.

Shichiya / O-Shichiya / お七夜 (Seventh Night) Ceremony, takes place on the 7th day after birth

The child is named: samurai girls receive the name they'll use throughout their lives, including in adulthood, while samurai boys are usually given a childhood name (yomyo) they will use only until their coming-of-age ceremony.

Yomyo are sometimes reused in multiple generations of a household or clan. However, they start being less common during the last century of the Edo period. You can often recognize childhood names because they end in -chiyo or -maru.

The child has their head shaved: this is done for both boys and girls and is considered to help keep the head clean and prevent diseases. Families continue to shave their little ones' hair until they reach age 3, for both boys and girls.

A celebratory dinner follows, to which are invited the family's relatives, and (where applicable) the midwife, doctor, and wet nurse. Visitors give gifts of baby clothes and toys, and the family gives money and food to visitors, as well as to relatives who couldn't attend.

Registering the Child No ceremony, no set age

The child's father must decide whether he will add the child's name to the family register. Although this is usually a given if the mother is his wife, he may choose not to register a child whose mother is his concubine or servant. Their children are only recognized as being his offspring - and, in the case of boys, potential heirs - if he officially acknowledges them.

Because there's no specific age at which registration must be completed, a father might wait to add boys born to concubines or servants to the register, or choose not to add them at all.

Kamioki-no-gi / 髪置の儀 (Ritual of Placing the Hair) Ceremony, takes place at age 3

Following this ceremony, the child's hair is allowed to grow... in a manner of speaking, since boys' hair continues to be shaved at the crown, which will continue into adulthood.

Education Beginning at age 6 or 7

Samurai boys start going to school outside the home around the time they begin wearing hakama and have their forelock tied back, around age 6 or 7.

Samurai boys attend han schools (hanko), of which there are some 200 across the country by the end of the Edo period. Hanko are established and funded by the domains to educate the children of daimyo and their retainers living in castle towns. Hanko are generally modeled after Shoheiko, the shogunate's academy.

Samurai boys outside of castle towns attend either gogaku, provincial schools, or shijuku, private schools whose classrooms may be located in someone's home or at a temple. (But not to be confused with terakoya, temple schools, which educated the children of commoners.)

The curriculum in samurai schools focuses chiefly on kangaku (Chinese learning), such as The Five Classics and The Four Books, but because there's no single official curriculum, can include anything from the basics of calligraphy and arithmetic to advanced subjects (for older students) that may include medicine and yogaku (Western learning).

Samurai boys often attended more than one type of school in their lives. Takasugi Shinsaku started his studies in the castle town of Hagi where he was raised, later joined Shoka Sonjuku, Yoshida Shoin's private school, and then attended Shoheiko.

Genpuku / 元服 Ceremony, age varies

The most important part of a young samurai boy's genpuku, or coming-of-age ceremony, is shaving off his forelock to transition to an adult's hairstyle.

Other parts of the ceremony may include changing from the furisode (long-sleeved kimono) of an adolescent to the short-sleeved kimono of an adult, and wearing two swords in public, instead of only a single short sword as younger boys do.

However, whether these are part of a boy's genpuku depends on the part of the Edo period in which he lives, the boy's domain of origin, or even the social standing of the boy's family. For example, Tosa boys in the 1800s often wore two swords starting at a young age, and boys from low-ranking families often did not wear furisode due to the cost.

There's no set age at which a boy has his genpuku and is considered an adult, although it's most commonly held between the ages of 15 and 17.

In some instances, a boy's genpuku might take place at a younger age; for example, if his father dies and he has to take over as head of the family.

And in some instances, a boy's genpuku might be delayed well into his 20's; for example, if he's a daimyo's favorite page, a position in which he couldn't continue once he's considered an adult.

Genpuku is also when a boy receives his adult name. Well, names in the plural for most samurai boys of the Edo period.

The first of these is his kana, or common name, which is what people will call him. The second of these is his imina, his forbidden name or real name, which is used only by his lord, his parents, and after his death. It would be considered very rude for other people to call someone by their real name.

Being Able to Legally Adopt an Heir At or after age 17

Even if a samurai boy had his coming-of-age ceremony before age 17, he cannot legally adopt an heir, should it become necessary for whatever reason, until he is at least 17 years old.

This may seem like a strange concern, but if his father died young and he has become the head of the family at a young age without younger brothers to take his place should something happen to him, it may be something he's concerned about, especially with frequent epidemics such as measles and cholera.

Okay, I just read articles on what you should have achieved at what age. And apparently at my age I should have a good paying stable job, should have found a lifelong partner, be married, have children, should have bought a flat ...

Somewhere in middle school you should have developed a stable friend group ... Guess that's where life stopped working for me.

So apparently I'm on the level a 12 year old should have reached. Beautiful. We love that...

Quran (84:19)

sungguh, akan kamu jalani tingkat demi tingkat (dalam kehidupan).

Вы переходите из одного состояния в другое.

Şüphesiz siz hâlden hâle geçeceksiniz.

que habéis de pasar de uno a otro estado!

แน่นอนพวกเจ้าจะต้องเผชิญกับสภาพหนึ่งหลังจากอีกสภาพหนึ่ง

Vous passerez, certes, par des états successifs !

진실로 그대들은 다양한 양상을 겪게 될 것이라.

Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.

Based on Research and Reality

I'm seeing more and more stuff online criticizing Millennials for choosing not have children. Claims insist that we'll be sad, lonely and confused once we hit forty and the time when we could have had children has passed because we won't know what to do with ourselves at that point. I see stuff saying, "Life is only half over by 40, if you don't have kids what are you going to do with the last half, just keep trying to be sexy and have fun?"

I always have questions when I see things like this posted online. As someone who is inching closer to forty, I'm a bit concerned. What do these people think happens when someone hits the dreaded age of forty? Do they think, once someone hits forty, that they suddenly quit their job and/or volunteer work? Do they think, at forty, that people's entire support systems including their families, friends, romantic partners, and pets just poof out of existence? Do they think that, on their fortieth birthday, people suddenly look in the mirror and look like Freddy Krueger or the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz? How and why does having fun and being sexy stop at forty?

Every time I see something like this, I also think about those studies we learned about in my Psychology of Childhood and Adolescence class. According to those studies, marital and life satisfaction are at their lowest when people have children living at home. Marital and life satisfaction only start to rise to their pre-child levels once the children are grown and out of their parents' homes. (And, yes, this information played a HUGE part in my decision not to have children.)

People hyper-focus on when people, particularly women, hit the age of forty when they talk about being childfree-by-choice. I'm not sure why. In reality, most people don't still have young children that they need to actively take care of living with them at 40 and older. Most people have children in their early to mid-twenties because society tells them they need to worry about being "old parents." (In my town many people have children at 18 and 19.) This means that by the time the early forties come, most of the children are grown and out of the house or away at college. So, even people with children are "alone" in the way these people typically mean by the time they hit forty. The forties seem to actually be the age range in which moms start to have fun and feel sexy again after they no longer have to think of themselves as just "somebody's mom" since the kids typically aren't living at home anymore.

When we look at the research and actual reality of the stages people try to structure their lives into, these claims and the hyper-focus on the age of forty don't make a lot of sense, do they?

Some replies discussing specific age ranges for each life stage, as well as the ability to toggle aging, and game time compared to real time. At this moment 1 minute real life = 1 second in game.

Life by You shares their first blog post about life stages.

At this moment only Teens, Adults, and Elders will be in the game. Children may be in the initial launch of early access if they can fix some bugs. Infants and toddlers are planned by full launch, however aren’t up to the standards the team wants.

You may be wondering why there’s no Young Adult and that’s because there will be actual ages tied to characters. They haven’t yet decided on the age ranges, but because of this Young Adult will be included in the Adult life stage.

Some other mentions are that interactions will be age appropriate, for example teen romances will be different from adult romances. This includes interactions and conversations. As well as having actual schools. Similar to no rabbit hole jobs, schools will work the same way.

The post also mentions the potential future for university. Due to the depth of university it is not planned to be in the base game, but university lovers will be happy to know it is on their radar for future content.

Hello femme! I love your blog! I’ve been using it for advice and reblogging almost every post I see lol, trying to channel my inner boss bitch. I’m in need of advice that I haven’t seen anyone else ask yet:

I just got out of a long-term relationship (we were engaged). My fiancé broke up with me because her feelings had changed, but I didn’t realize until it was over that there had been so many red flags I’d just ignored along the way for the sake of love. Now, she expects to still be very close and for me to buy her things and do things for her, just without the title of “in a relationship”. I’m extremely uncomfortable with this as I’m trying to make myself better and don’t have the energy to exert on someone who only takes.

However, I can’t just cut her off cold turkey even though I want to. She has some severe mental health issues and depression/SH tendencies. I’m worried she’ll hurt herself and tbh I still love her, I just can’t be around her any more.

Do you have any advice on how to cut her off gently with minimal damage to either of us? I know I shouldn’t care about her as much as I do after how she’s treated me but we did have a spark at some point. She’s not the manipulative type, she just has problems that I can’t help her fix.

Hi love! Thank you so much for your continuous support. It means a lot to me <3

This is a tough situation, for certain. While, ultimately, you need to do what's best for you and move on if a person isn't taking the steps necessary to help themselves, your kindness and desire to help this woman are highly admirable qualities. Personally, I would reach out to her closest loved ones/friends and be super honest about the situation/ your concerns. See if they can help her get the therapy and resources needed to support her mental health struggles, so she can hopefully recover. This option allows you to exhaust all potential ways to help this woman you care about without sacrificing your needs, personal growth, and well-being. Distancing yourself from this woman and her struggles sounds like the only healthy option for you (and her too, honestly). You both deserve peace and happiness – even these circumstances make it such that it is not possible to actualize these endeavors while walking along the same life path.

Hope this helps xx

Entry 57

I am lost. I always look at future stages in my life and tell myself that I will have everything figured out by then. Every stage seems to have a pile of disappointments I need to pick and piece apart. Find some part of myself again somehow even though everything turns into smithereens. I hold no understanding towards myself or others anymore. I used to think I had a good head on my shoulders,…
