      Our baby

      A Little One Is Born

      A little one is born.

      What dreams are born with him.

      What longings, hopes, and wishes

      Fill his parents’ hearts this day.

      A little heathen child is born,

      Born to worship idols deaf,

      Born to honor ancestors dead,

      Born to live with superstitions,

      Born to die?

      Oh, why should it be?

      This little babe should hear of Jesus,

      This little soul would trust I’m sure.

      Baby dear, I’ll come to your land.

      Just wait, I’ll soon be there ...

Then all of the relatives come to a dinner of red rice (rice and red beans cooked together). The rice is very pretty and tasty, with sesame seed and salt sprinkled on top. At this time, too, the new baby is given his name.

      More Special Days for Baby

      32nd Day: Today Baby is dedicated to the neighborhood gods. The baby is dressed in a beautiful, embroidered silk kimono and taken on his grandmother’s back. Before they enter the Shinto shrine’s courtyard, the grandmother dips water from a stone trough and washes her mouth and hands.

      Above the shrine door is a metal gong which Grandmother rings and then claps her hands twice and bows low. Soon the priest, wearing a bright silk brocade robe, waves
