Shichi-Go-San is a beautiful cultural tradition to celebrate children growing up —
but here in Los Angeles, something even more special happens when families choose to wear kimono together.

When Mom Wears Kimono, Everything Changes

During a recent session, a mother decided to dress in kimono with her twin children.

The moment she stepped out…
her kids froze, stared at her, and whispered:

“Mommy… you look so beautiful.”

Mothers work so hard every single day.
But when they wear kimono, something softens.
Their smile. Their posture. Their presence.

And the children see it —
maybe for the first time in their life.

That little sparkle in their eyes…
I will never forget it.

Culture Isn’t Taught — It’s Felt

“I want to wear kimono like mommy someday.”
“Next time, I want to wear one too!”

Shichi-Go-San isn’t just a photoshoot.
It’s a moment when children feel Japanese culture with their whole heart.

Wearing kimono together becomes a memory that stays with them —
not just for the photos,
but for who they will become.

A Mother’s One Step Can Shape a Child’s Future

When a mother chooses to wear kimono, she is silently passing down something precious.
Not rules. Not lessons.

A feeling.
A memory.
A connection to culture.

And that experience becomes part of their future.
