A bride with traditional dress in a traditional old house


We were asked to take pictures in bridal costume by one of our guests the other day. Her request was to dress a traditional Japanese kimono specially designed for bridal dress. That is so called Shiromuku which means ‘‘pure white’’ without uncleanness. This time, I was in charge of selecting the kimono and to assist her for wearing them in a straight manner.

An old traditional house in country side was chosen as a location. The real old house realized more vivid feeling of appearance than the virtual set in the photographing salon. Her shape in Shiromuku was just so beautiful and fixed my eyes on it.

I appreciated attending such photographing at the special location which gave me a good chance to study something new.
