Finalists of Miss University 2023 presented kimono photoshoots to women in Suzu City who were unable to celebrate their Coming of Age ceremony due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

"2023 Miss University" Finalists Present Kimono Photoshoots to Coming-of-Age Women in Suzu City

Seven finalists from "2023 Miss University," including Grand Prix Rion Suzuki and Runner-up Shiori Morikawa, held a kimono photoshoot event in Kanazawa City for young women in Suzu City who were scheduled to participate in the "Reiwa 6 Suzu City Coming of Age Ceremony" but were affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. This project was a collaboration with the kimono rental service "#FurisodeGram."

The Coming of Age ceremony, a once-in-a-lifetime event, was canceled due to an earthquake that occurred just days prior. Kimonos themselves were also lost due to tsunamis, landslides, and fires caused by the earthquake. To create an opportunity for women of the same generation to wear kimonos, 2023 Miss University, along with "#FurisodeGram," implemented this project.
