“Shiromuku (all white kimono)” and “Irouchikake (kimono with colors & patterns)” both appear beautiful with such a splendid place like Nijo Castle in the background.

Hosodono which is also used for the wedding ceremony was the main stage of the play.
The story of the advent of “Kamo-Sume-Okami”, the enshrined deity was presented in a way easy to understand by the state of the art visual technology and with the narration by Koyuki.

Dedicatory play “KOURIN (=advent)”
Written and directed by Amon MIYAMOTO, Narration by Koyuki
“KOURIN (=advent)”, A DEDICATORY PLAY FOR KAMIGAMO SHRINE
At Kamigamo shrine, they have been conducting “Shikinen-Sengu” this year.
It is taken place every 21 years.
On this very special occasion, a play titled “KOURIN (=advent)” directed by Amon MIYAMOTO was played for the dedication to the shrine.
(From October 23rd to 25th)
It was a moment that I strongly felt the magnificence of Kamigamo shrine, the oldest shrine in Kyoto.
And I realized the importance of the coexistence of human and nature at the same time.
APPLICATION STARTS FOR THE WEDDING AT THE WORLD HERITAGE, NIJO CASTLE
We held a bridal fair at the world heritage, Nijo Castle under the Autumn blue sky.
We would like to thank for those who joined the event.
The acceptance of the application for the wedding at Nijo Castle in 2016 has started.
During the wedding ceremony, guests will be welcomed by Gagaku (ancient imperial court music and dances) and Koto (Japanese harp) music.
At “Koun-tei (Tea-house)”, tables and chairs are in use for the comfort of the guests.
A nonreligious wedding ceremony at the World Heritage Site with Japanese hospitality.
It will be an unforgettable day for the couple, parents and other guests.
I had a happy encounter at “Kodaiji Doi (ryotei restaurant)” last weekend.
We met the parents of the bride who had got married with our service and held a wedding reception at “Kodaiji Doi” in January.
They traveled to Kyoto for holiday and visited “Kodaiji Doi” for a meal.
They said that they often recalled the wedding ceremony and the mother showed me the standby display of her cell phone which was a picture of the bride and groom.
We met the bride’s parents just once, only on their daughter’s wedding day, so it was surprising that they recognized our faces.
They told us “it was so important day for us, so we will never forget your faces.” in a gentle voice.
We could see that they raised their daughter with great care and how much they looked forward to her wedding.
Having talked to them, we really want to try our best to provide good service to our clients.
We want all the brides and grooms, their families and all invited guests to have happy smiles.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. T.
It was so nice to see you.
As it is getting colder, please take care of yourselves.
We are looking forward to seeing you again!
I was invited to “Onshukai (dance recital by Maiko and Geiko)” by “Kodaiji Doi (ryoutei restaurant)” where we often reserve for our clients’ wedding reception.
At Onshukai, Geiko and Maiko who are leaning Kyomai (=Kyoto-style dance) from Ms. Yachiyo INOUE, a head of the school “Inoue-ryu” will present the achievement of their training.
This year, 85 performers including 22 Maikos will be on stage.
The stage opened with “Taiko-Odori (=drum dance)”, the sound of drums by Maikos beating “Uchiwa-Daiko (=prayer drum)”.
The colorful kimonos of Maiko, elegant movement, Jiuta (=song of local) by Jikata (=local region) and the sound of Shamisen (=three string Japanese guitar) were all so impressive and remained deep in my mind.
I would like to thank “Kodaiji Doi” for such a precious experience.
