Today, I visited Kiyomizu-dera with a photographer to prepare the wedding ceremony scheduled in December.
The view from Kiyomizu Stage was breathtakingly beautiful and I felt like being purified.
The couple who is getting married resides in Tokyo and they traveled all the way to Kyoto to have a meeting and costume fitting.
We would like to introduce LST original wedding kimono to the couples who will get married at Kamigamo shrine.
We made this “shiromuku (=all white kimono)” inspired by the play “KOURIN (=advent)” produced by Amon MIYAMOTO, which was dedicated to Kamigamo shrine at its “Shikinen-Sengu” ceremony last year.
You may not recognize the patterns clearly on the photo, but there are many motives like “an arrow” “Kouyama (mountain)” “Honden (main building of the shrine)” “a pure stream of Kouyama-Yusui (spring water)” “cherry blossoms in full bloom” were described. Those were taken from the mythology of the shrine.
Kamowake-ikazuchino-mikoto (a deity of Kamigamo shrine) would have a view like this design from above the cloud in the sky.
This “shiromuku” was produced after elaborated work; we proposed its design to Kamigamo shrine first, and then had repeated discussion with the designer.
Now we would like to recommend this “shiromuku” to the marrying couples, wishing that the wedding ceremony at Kamigamo shrine will be great one.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Kamigamo shrine and all the costume staff involved with this project.
Thank you!
