Kitamura Photo Studio by MERCI Shonandai Store Launches June-Only Photography Event: 'Pastel Flower Shop' Where a Story of Early Summer Begins to Bloom

Kitamura Camera Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kazuhiro Fukumoto) will host a limited-time photography event titled 'Pastel Flower Shop' at Kitamura Photo Studio by MERCI Fujisawa Shonandai Store, which opened in March 2026. The event will run for five days from Saturday, June 13, 2026, to Monday, June 29, 2026.

Located within a photo studio designed to engage all five senses with authentic antique interiors, this exclusive photo booth features pastel-colored doors and decorations that highlight children’s innocent expressions, creating a storytelling photography experience.

■ Limited Special Photography Event: 'Pastel Flower Shop' (June 2026)

This bright and gentle flower shop, featuring mint-colored doors and antique baskets filled with colorful blooms, is a unique photo set designed exclusively for the Shonandai store by popular photographer Mizuki, known for her one-of-a-kind visual world. The space is inspired by the story: 'Behind a door bathed in soft light, a bear florist is arranging bouquets. A mint-scented breeze, the sweet fragrance of flowers, and tiny heartbeats come together—within the photograph, a story of early summer begins to bloom.'

Guests can be photographed in full view of the shop, standing beside the door, pushing a flower cart, or holding a bouquet—offering a wide variety of poses.
