日本では江戸時代の頃から子供の成長を願い神事を行ってきた。
現代では七五三の行事として定着し、女子は３歳と７歳になると着物を着せられ神社に詣る。
この７歳の女子の成長を祝う帯を解き、成人した女性の有り方を問う。
In Japan, ceremonies have been held since the Edo period to pray for the growth of children. Girls participate in the "Hair Placing Ceremony" at the age of three and the "Obi Unfolding Ceremony" at the age of seven. Nowadays, these ceremonies have become established as the Shichi-Go-San event, and girls wear kimonos and visit shrines at the ages of three and seven. In this work, a girl's ceremonial obi, which is a sash worn with the kimono, is unraveled and remade to both celebrate the girl's growth and question the way adult women live.
