Bride Ceremonial Ceremony Heading Marital Marries Matrimony Nuptial Ritual Screen Undressing Conjugal
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the vibrant hues of traditional Japanese autumn foliage, a newlywed bride, adorned in an elegant kimono and intricately woven obi sash, takes her first steps into marital bliss. The ceremonial union between the bride and groom has been formally sealed through the Shinto wedding rites, marking the beginning of their conjugal life together. As twilight descends upon the serene garden setting, the bride heads off to her new home, accompanied by her bridesmaids and family members. The anticipation and sweet hope of a new life together fill the air as she approaches the matrimonial chamber. Behind the screen, the bride begins the process of undressing and preparing for her nuptial night. The screen, a symbol of privacy and modesty, shields her from the prying eyes of the guests. The ritualistic act of undressing and donning a new, more casual kimono signifies the transition from the role of an unmarried woman to that of a married one. This image, taken circa 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Japanese weddings. The intricate details of the bride's attire, the autumnal backdrop, and the tranquil atmosphere all contribute to the enchanting scene of a Japanese wedding ceremony - a union steeped in history, culture, and the promise of a lifelong partnership.
