"Announcing a Change of Surname: A Beautiful Wedding Photo Using Calligraphy, Inspired by 'Starting Hiyashi Chuka'"

A Sign Everyone Has Seen at Least Once＊

As summer approaches, this sign appears at ramen shops and Chinese restaurants in the city.

The phrase "Starting Cold Chinese Noodles" is a classic that everyone must have seen at least once♡

At first glance, it may seem completely unrelated to weddings, but...

In fact, an adorable pre-wedding photo prop inspired by this "Starting Cold Chinese Noodles" sign is incredibly cute♡♡

"〇〇 (Groom's Last Name) Started"♡

Here it is!

A calligraphy piece that includes the groom's last name instead of "Cold Chinese Noodles," saying "〇〇 (Groom's Last Name) Started"＊

When the bride registers and joins the groom's family registry, her last name changes, right? This idea is a way to announce that in a "Starting Cold Chinese Noodles" style ♩

Isn't it unique and super cute??

Especially Recommended for Traditional Attire Pre-Weddings＊

The "Starting Cold Chinese Noodles" shot is especially recommended for pre-weddings in traditional attire, like colored kimonos or white kimonos♡

The combination of the calligraphy sign and traditional clothing is outstanding◎ It will create lovely and atmospheric wedding photos♩

It could also be used for wedding registration announcement postcards or social media posts＊

DIY Calligraphy Using a Printer＊

I also tried taking the "Starting Cold Chinese Noodles" shot♡

Our home didn't have an inkstone or ink, so I printed the characters on inkjet paper made to look like washi paper using a calligraphy-style font.

While hand-writing obviously adds flavor, this method saves time and money, so feel free to give it a try♩

Of course, solo shots holding the calligraphy are great, but I also recommend composing shots like this where he is subtly included♡

Instead of facing the camera directly, capturing their back or side profile can lead to a more atmospheric image＊
