卒業式
Significado: Graduation ceremony; the formal event marking completion of a school or university program.
卒業式 is an emotional milestone in Japanese education. High school ceremonies are formal and often tearful, with students receiving diplomas individually and singing the school song. University graduations are more festive — students wear 袴 (hakama, traditional clothing) or costumes, take countless photos, and celebrate with family. The ceremony represents the end of one chapter and is treated with great sentimental importance.
