]]> Thank you so much to everyone who shared their wonderful work with us again this year.

A photograph capturing a precious moment between parent and child.
A story of family told through carefully chosen words.

Through each and every entry, we had the privilege of discovering the many different forms that OYAKO—the bond between parent and child—can take.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated. 🌿❤

The judging process will now begin, and the results will be announced at a later date.


The photograph accompanying this post was taken after the Oyako Day Super Photo Session in 2014.

Although we were unable to hold the Super Photo Session this year, the same joyful energy we felt that day continues to live on, nurturing and inspiring Oyako Day today.

Thank you for your continued support of Oyako Day.
