A PRECIOUS DAY IN KYOTO, YOSHIDA SHRINE & YOSHIDA SANSO

In the 1st year of Jogan period (AD859), Yoshida Shrine was founded as the guardian deity of ancient Kyoto “Heian” by Fujiwara no Yamakage.
Yoshida shrine is located at the foot of Mt.Yoshida which has another name “Kagura-oka (=the hill at where the gods are gathering)”.

Yoshida Sanso was originally built as a second house of prince Higashi-Fushimi, a great uncle of present emperor.
It is made of Japanese cypress wood and you can find “Uragiku” emblem on each roof tile.

The building is a mixture of Japanese and foreign culture, and registered as a tangible cultural property.

BENI-SASHI (COLOR OF THE BRIDE’S LIPS)

On the wedding day, the bride’s mother put a color on her daughter’s lips.

With a thought “Wish her full of happiness”,the mother who had gave birth to her daughter and brought her up over the long years finished her dressing up as a bride.

I attended a wedding the other day.
Following the bride’s mother, the groom’s mother took a brush to color the bride’s lips.
“Welcome to my family.”

Even though I didn’t understand the foreign language, I could feel that she was trying to express something like that.

TENNO-SHO (Emperor’s prize)

The groom was a horse-racing fan.
And their wedding day happened to be the day of “Tenno-sho (Emperor’s prize)” race.
So, we included it in the program of the wedding reception.

The groom was worried whether the guests can enjoy it…
It turned out that everyone got so excited with their tickets held in their hands!

I saw the smiley faces when the race started, shown live on TV monitor…
But after the final corner….they changed to more serious look!

They prepared a ticket even for me. How kind!
It was my first time horse race betting and I won!
So were their parents!

The bride and groom, all the guests and a planner (myself) had a lot of fun at the wedding reception.

I always try to produce an unique wedding for every couple while enjoying the process together.
