We arranged the wedding ceremony for one of our client couples at Kamigamo shrine and the wedding reception at “Sakurai (ryoutei restaurant)” the other day.
The bride and groom are living in Yamaguchi prefecture and both were born there.
Their family members and friends were traveling from Yamaguchi, Nagoya and Tokyo to Kyoto to attend their wedding and watch the couple realizing their dreams.
The bride’s dream was “wearing Shiromuku (traditional all-white wedding costume)” and the groom’s dream was “having wedding ceremony at the world heritage in Kyoto”.
The couple started their opening speech of the reception with “Thanks for your collaboration to materialize our personal desire”.
The reception was liven up by the Geiko and Maiko’s dance or a traditional “hashitori-no gi” (=the bride and groom served Japanese traditional sweets to the guests), both are in real Kyoto style.
All the guests enjoyed the reception in their own way and the place was really in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
I was so happy that I could serve them and spend the day with them.
The couple looked like the one which came out of a fairy tale.
I wish they will spend a lot of happy time together always with smile that they love each other.
Thank you, T-sama, M-san.

After nearly one year of preparation, LST BOTAN opened in Teramachi, Kyoto on January 21, 2015.
The shop theme is “KURASHI(=living)”.
Various furniture, interior and gift items are specially selected and proposed by LST.
One customer who visited the shop on the opening day was a Taiwanese creator and he said,
“We cannot find such an attractive shop in Taiwan.”
He was impressed with the Japanese craftsmanship and the accurate works, and bought one to make it as a special gift.
We all deeply appreciate that so many clients, including the priests of shinto shrine visited the shop.
If you look for something for the start of new life, furniture or gifts which can be used for long years and you can enjoy its aging process,
then you may find it at “LST BOTAN”.
If you are interested, please visit our shop to check out our selection.
I served at the wedding ceremony performed at the chapel of Doshisha University, then at the reception held at Saami ryoutei restaurant.
The day was blessed with a perfect weather with a cloudless sky.
The bride and groom made the original 20pages of booklet with their personal profile to introduce themselves to the guests. They also prepared handmade mascots to be placed by the name plates to indicate the seating order, and carefully chose the music.
Those efforts made the atmosphere of the reception very friendly and everybody had a good time.
And they wrote us an email after the wedding.
It was the great wedding.
We were so happy and completely satisfied as all the guests enjoyed the day.
For marrying couples, the wedding is a dream day and also the start of the future for two.
We hope that you will keep providing the great service to your future client couples as well.
We truly appreciate the opportunity that we were given to serve for their precious day.
We wish them a long happy married life!

We could enter the place via “Kita Ote-mon Gate (North Gate)” which is closed usually, as “Higashi Ote-mon Gate (East Gate)” is currently under repair.
お正月の華やかなしつらえでのお出迎えです。
The festive decoration for the new year greeted the visitors in front of the gate.
We held the fifth “wedding consultancy meeting” at Nijo Castle, one of the world heritage, the other day.
Here in Nijo Castle, you can have the wedding ceremony surrounded by the beautiful cherry blossoms in March and April.
The next wedding consultancy meeting is scheduled on February 28th (Sat).
Please join us. It’s a rare opportunity that you can visit the special places where you are not allowed to enter usually.
We have received many “nenga-jo” from our clients this year as always.
We found many happy news such as “We got a baby.” or comments like “It was the happiest day in my life.”
And they made me very happy.
Today, I would like to introduce this greeting card which was from one of the client couples living in the USA who had got married on November 1st last year. They had the wedding ceremony at Shimogamo shrine and the reception at “Sakurai (ryoutei restaurant)” with our service.
Having read the message, I recalled the day of their wedding.
It was raining in the morning and the bride’s mother expressed her gratitude to each guest for coming over in the rain .
But as the time of the ceremony came close, the rain got lighter and lighter.
And I thought the wish of the couple and the mother should have reached to god.
At the reception, guests gave the warm and kind message to the couple in the friendly and cozy atmosphere.
I’m sure that they will build a happy family in the USA.
I will keep the card as a memory.
Thanks for all the greeting cards.

Happy New Year.
In Tokyo, we started business for 2015 today.
We have been to Kyoto to pay a new year’s visit to Kamigamo shrine together with all the staff in Kyoto office.
In the northern part of Kyoto, we saw lots of snow remained from the year end and new year’s snow fall.
It was much colder than in Tokyo, but I liked the air which was clean and refreshing.
I really appreciate that we have beautiful four seasons in Japan.
And Kyoto in Winter is really charming and attractive.
Along the Kamo River, there was a row of cherry trees without leaves or flowers. I know it’s a bit too early to talk about the cherry blossoms, but imagining all the cherry trees in full bloom in Spring made me so excited as I do not like cold Winter so much.
We would like to introduce various wedding plans in Kyoto including “the wedding at the World Heritage” to many couples here in Tokyo.
KYOTO NURE-GAKI YUZEN
(HAND PAINTED SILK ON THE MOIST CLOTH)
Mr.Araya is a creator of Kyoto “Nure-gaki Yuzen” and he got married four years ago using our service.
Recently, he produced silk scarves for LST. They are for “Hikidemono”, the gifts from the married couple to their guests.
Each piece painted in nure-gaki style with very soft colors reflects his skill as artisan.
You could order to put the name on it.
It makes a special gift that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Please come to “LST OATSURAE SALON” to see and touch them.
Today, all the LST staff in Kyoto and Tokyo office together made a new year’s visit to Kamigamo shrine for the prayers.
We found lots of snow in the garden which remained from the year-end and new year’s snow fall.
It gave each of us a good opportunity to look back and turn over a new leaf for the new year.
At Kamigamo shrine, they will have “Shikinen Sengu” this year.
While we talked about it with them, we could feel their great enthusiasm for the “Shikinen Sengu” even in their calm manner.
We appreciate for all the “Go-en (fate)” given to us until now, and we will always make our best for the new encounters and events in the future.
We look forward to providing the best service possible for our current and future customers.
