"Time for a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Traditional Japanese Attire! Let's Capture Some 'Reiwa Shots'!"

The Dawn of the Reiwa Era!

From May 1, 2019, the new era "Reiwa" finally begins.

I want to continue living happily with my beloved husband, whom I met during the Heisei era, for many years to come, even across eras ♡

If you're going to do a pre-wedding photoshoot in traditional attire, let's capture "Reiwa" ♡

In this first year of Reiwa, is it a privilege for couples getting married...? ♡

Brides who are going to do a pre-wedding photoshoot should hold a calligraphy piece with "Reiwa" written on it for their wedding photos.

Just like when Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga announced the new era on April 1,

frame the "Reiwa" paper (a photo frame is okay) and hold it together with your partner, smiling for a snapshot ♡

Those who are confident in calligraphy can write it themselves on washi paper, or you can certainly print the characters.

(If you're writing it by hand, make sure to take some shots of the writing process like this♡)

It will become a memorable photo you want to show to your children and grandchildren ♡

For Japanese people, the era name symbolizes a period.

Particularly, the transition from Heisei to Reiwa is marked by the abdication of the Emperor rather than a passing, which envelops the event in a sense of gratitude towards the current Emperor and an auspicious atmosphere.

The meaning of Reiwa, taken from the Manyoshu, which speaks to "a culture born and nurtured as people beautifully come together," is also wonderful ♡

For everyone getting married in the first year of Reiwa, definitely take a "Reiwa shot" ♡

Surely, one day when you have children or grandchildren, you can show them this treasured photo saying, "I got married in the first year of Reiwa." ♩
