"Shichigosan" is a nonstandard romanization of 七五三. A simple websearch will reveal that nearly all sites devoted to this topic use the term "Shichi-Go-San" to drawn distinction between the separate elements of the word and make it more readable. I saw no reason why Wikipedia should be different, so I repaired all the links I could (the current events page is read-only) and moved the site here. I'm sorry if I missed a link, but I think it's good to fix this problem before even more pages incorrectly reference "Shichigosan" - Exitmoose 06:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I propose merging chitoseame into this article for the following reason:
Googling seems to confirm it is indeed Shichi-go-san, wondering how come? Isn't the normal Japanese for the number seven "nana"? I've only ever seen "shichi" used in westernized karate counting (along with "shi" instead of "yon" for 4), and at that time believed it an erroneous Chinese reading of a character... Is there some sort of formal, respectful, or archaic tone conveyed by using shichi instead?? 68.183.124.21 ( talk) 00:28, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
