Have you seen a wedding in a shichi-go-san (twelve-layered robe)?
The shichi-go-san, worn as formal attire for women during the Heian period, consists of twelve layers of kimono, as its name suggests. It is quite familiar since the hina dolls displayed during the Hina Matsuri wear similar clothing♡
During the Heian period, the shichi-go-san was worn during court ceremonies and formal occasions by noblewomen. In fact, it is still worn today during grand ceremonies such as the enthronement ceremony and the wedding of royal family members*
Despite its high formality, there are couples who hold weddings dressed in shichi-go-san! Among traditional attire, the shichi-go-san uses luxurious fabrics, and its colors and patterns are absolutely beautiful. Don’t you think it’s wonderful to be able to have a wedding in something that only special people can wear?
Here’s what it looks like to wear a shichi-go-san* The sight of the bride and groom in shichi-go-san is truly heartwarming, reminiscent of the close relationship between the hina dolls and the male doll…♡
The bride adorned with red hair accessories and a colorful shichi-go-san is very lovely. Her husband’s crown suits him well too♩ The location where they shot makes it look like it’s not modern at all…!
