Had the pleasure of photographing a Shichi-Go-San celebration in Nagoya for a family visiting from overseas.
名古屋で、海外からお越しのご家族の七五三撮影をさせていただきました。
The day began at the long-established kimono shop “Wasou Kajiura” in Nagoya, where the family prepared for the occasion. Inside the shop, colorful kimonos lined the shelves while hair styling and dressing slowly brought the clients’ looks together. Watching them gradually transform into their kimono outfits felt like witnessing the beginning of a truly special day.
この日の始まりは、名古屋の老舗和装店「和装カジウラ」さんでのお支度から。店内には色とりどりの着物が並び、その中でヘアメイクと着付けが進んでいきます。少しずつ和装姿へと変わっていく時間は、特別な一日の始まりを感じさせてくれるひとときです。
After getting ready, they headed to Kawahara Shrine for the traditional visit.
お支度のあとは、川原神社へお詣りへ♪
The shrine grounds, lined with bright vermilion torii gates, created the perfect setting for a Shichi-Go-San celebration.
Now, let me introduce the stars of the day!

Holding their chitose-ame candies, the kids looked slightly proud.

Seeing them quietly place their hands together in prayer brought a gentle sense of dignity that felt unique to such a special day.

For this celebration, not only the children but also Mom and Dad dressed in kimono.

Seeing the entire family in traditional attire

created a beautiful and festive scene that felt uniquely Japanese.

After the shrine visit, they moved to a park in Nagoya for a location photo session.

In the soft light, the siblings’ expressions opened up naturally.

From shy smiles

Each sibling had their own favorite stuffed animal.

The little sister had a polar bear,

and the big brother had a puppy.

Seeing them hug their beloved toys so tightly was simply adorable😊
ギュッと抱きしめている姿が愛らしかったのでした😊
To finish the session, we took a short walk through the streets of Nagoya and continued photographing along the shopping arcade. The family, dressed in kimono, stood out beautifully against the everyday city scenery.
そして最後は名古屋の街を少し歩きながら撮影。商店街を歩く和装姿のご家族は、街の風景の中でもひときわ目を引きます。海外からのご家族が日本の街を和装で歩くその光景は、とても自然で、どこか嬉しい気持ちになる瞬間でした。
Seeing a family visiting from overseas in traditional attire at some of Nagoya’s landmarks felt completely natural—and somehow very heartwarming.
O-san family, thank you so much for letting me share such a special and unforgettable day with you!
日本の伝統行事である七五三を、ご家族みなさんで和装で迎える一日。海外からのご家族にとっても、日本で過ごす特別な思い出のひとつになっていたら嬉しいなと思います。
