Skip to contentI photographed a three-year-old girl and her family celebrating Shichi-Go-San at Nakagawa Shrine in Nakatsugawa, Gifu.
A family story in photographs
This Shichi-Go-San record was photographed at Nakagawa Shrine in Nakatsugawa, Gifu. The Japanese original is centered on the gallery, so this translation keeps to the confirmed occasion and location while letting the photographs tell the day.
At the children’s own pace
A Shichi-Go-San session does not need to be a continuous sequence of posed photographs. I leave room for children and family members to settle in, and preserve the expressions and interactions that happen naturally.
Before planning a shrine session
Photography rules, applications, and possible fees can change from shrine to shrine. Please confirm the latest guidance directly with the shrine before booking; we can then plan a comfortable schedule together.
