I photographed a three-year-old boy celebrating Shichi-Go-San at Rokusho Shrine in Okazaki, Aichi. The photographs preserve this family milestone across the shrine grounds.

The character of three years old

At three, a child’s expressions can change from one moment to the next. A relaxed approach leaves room for that character while still creating photographs that feel fitting for a traditional celebration.

A photographic record of the visit

The original Japanese article is a gallery rather than a detailed written report. This translation keeps to the confirmed occasion and location, allowing the photographs to tell the rest of the story.

Confirm the latest rules with the shrine

Photography policies, required applications, and possible fees vary and may change. Please contact Rokusho Shrine directly for the latest guidance before booking; we can then arrange the session around the child and ceremony.
