The centrality of the photo, together with other symbolical elements, such as numbers, the rite of go, and the traditional gift item, the chitoseame candy are discussed. The ritual roles played by the mother, father, child, and other kin are placed into the overall interpretational frame of the celebration. Lastly, changing patterns of transmission of ritual knowledge and the role of media in this process are discussed.]
