七五三
Shichi-Go-San in Aichi, Japan: A Special Experience for International Family／海外からのお客様が日本で七五三を体験！（瀬戸市）
I had the pleasure of photographing a family who came to Japan from overseas for their holiday.
休暇で海外から日本へ遊びにいらっしゃったご家族の撮影をさせていただきました。
This time, they chose a very special experience—a Shichi-Go-San celebration!
今回は、なんと七五三バージョン！
Not only the children, but both mom and dad also dressed in traditional Japanese attire, making the day even more memorable.
お子様達のみならず、パパもママも和装で臨んでくださいました。
The preparations were kindly taken care of by the familiar Wafudo, a kimono shop in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture.
…お支度をしてくださったのは、おなじみの「和布堂」さん（愛知県瀬戸市）。
Housed in a traditional folk home with over 150 years of history, it is a place filled with warmth and character.
150年を超える歴史をもつ古民家の和装店です✨
The stars of this session were two adorable sisters—
…今回の主役は、かわいい姉妹。
the older sister, A-san
お姉ちゃんのAちゃんと、
and her younger sister, L-san♡
妹ちゃんのLちゃんです♡
After finishing the pre-shoot at Wafudo, we headed out for the location photo session.
和布堂さんでの前撮りを無事に終え、いざロケーション撮影へ！
Our destination was Kamagaki no Komichi, a scenic walking path in Seto City.
瀬戸市の観光散策路、「窯垣の小径」へとやってきました♪
Despite it being January, the greenery was lush and gentle on the eyes, and in the crisp winter air, there was already a faint hint of spring.
1月とは思えないほど、しっとりとした緑が目にやさしく、冬の空気の中にほんのりと春の気配を感じさせてくれます。
Seto, a town known for its pottery, is filled with unique scenery—stone-paved paths and kiln walls built from stacked ceramic fragments,
焼き物の町・瀬戸ならではの、陶片を積み上げた窯垣や石畳の小道は、
each corner rich with character and beautifully complemented by traditional kimono.
どこを切り取っても味わい深く、和装姿がよく映える場所。
As we walked through the quiet lanes, only our footsteps echoed,
静かな路地を歩くたび、足音だけが響き、
and although it is a popular sightseeing spot, time seemed to pass more slowly there.
観光地でありながら、どこか時間がゆっくり流れているように感じられました。
As the surroundings worked their quiet magic,
肩の力がふっと抜けた自然な表情や、
relaxed expressions began to emerge, along with moments of casual family conversation.
ご家族の何気ない会話の瞬間が、
Those small, unguarded instants blended naturally with the atmosphere of the place, becoming images that felt especially meaningful.
この場所の空気と重なって、よりいっそう印象的なカットへとつながっていきます。
Wrapped in the clear winter light,
冬ならではの澄んだ光に包まれながら、
the session unfolded into a calm, warm moment—very much in keeping with the gentle spirit of Seto itself.
瀬戸の町らしい、落ち着きと温もりのある撮影時間となったのでした。
Thank you so much to the F-san family for allowing me to share such a precious moment with you.
Fさんファミリー、今回はかけがえのないひとときをご一緒させていただき、ありがとうございました。
If this photo session becomes one of the meaningful memories from your time in Japan, I couldn’t be happier. I hope our paths cross again someday, whether for another family milestone or during a future journey.
今回の撮影が、日本滞在の日本滞在の中でも心に残る大切な思い出のひとつとなっていましたら、これ以上うれしいことはありません。またいつの日か、ご家族の節目や旅の途中で、再びお会いできる機会がありましたら幸いです😊
