NMphotography / 光永典人写真スタジオ: April 2016

April 25, 2016 "Shinto Ceremony for an old well in which the god of water had long been living"

Today the priest of our family's shrine came to my new house and gave a prayer for an old well, which had long been left unused and once used by the former owner of this house. We Japanese believe that a god of water is living in every well and we have no plan of using this well, so we asked the god of water to go back to his home shrine with the help of the priest's prayer.

April 23, 2016 "Siblings"

Good morning from Kitakyushu, Japan! In Japan most of the schools, kindergarten, and businesses start their year in April, so we are now in the most fresh and exciting season of the year.

Today's image is a siblings portrait, Kurumi and Yushin. On the day this picture was shot they attended the entrance ceremony at their elementary school because Yushin just started his school life in this month. (In Japan we have entrance ceremony when entering school) This family is really close that they make us happy whenever we meet on the photoshoots.

Our family is also starting the new life in a new house next month. And our photo studio and cafe will open in this summer! Norihito is now preparing our new website. Hopefully we can show you some pics of our studio under construction in the next post, I suppose.
