I Want to Know Poses for Pre-Wedding Shoots in Traditional Japanese Attire Without Accessories!

For brides who say, "I will wear a wedding dress on the wedding day, but I want to preserve my traditional attire for memories," pre-wedding shoots in traditional Japanese clothing are extremely popular.*

Wearing beautiful shiro-muku (pure white kimono) and colorful uchikake is a rare experience that makes you think, "I'm glad to have been born Japanese ♡"♪

Recently, poses using traditional accessories like red threads and yorisohi protection charms are also commonly seen, but...

Photos that highlight the inherent beauty of traditional clothing without accessories are also wonderful, right?*

This time, I will introduce poses for pre-wedding shoots in traditional attire without accessories ♩

Pose 1: Bride's Back View
