The traditional wedding mode of Japanese customs and habits

In the traditional Japanese wedding mode, church weddings account for 40%, pre-divine weddings account for 50%, and other weddings (including pre-human and pre-Buddha weddings) account for 65,438+00%. Although Japan has been modernized, today's high-end hotels or restaurants still have simple temples, so in a broad sense, traditional Japanese weddings are still dominated by pre-god weddings. Traditional Japanese weddings are usually held in local Japanese shrines, and they must be reported to the gods and ancestors of Japan before or after. On the wedding day, when the bride and groom leave home respectively, they should salute the altar at home and the spiritual position of their ancestors, which is a very important step in traditional Japanese weddings.

Unique wedding reservation in Japanese customs and habits

Japanese people give strange gifts when they are engaged, and each gift has a special symbolic meaning. Gifts are wrapped in gorgeous paper, including: dried cuttlefish symbolizing male genitalia; Seaweed, used as a metaphor for fertile women; A long flax thread means to grow old together; A folding fan symbolizes a steady stream of financial resources in the future.

Traditional wedding clothes of Japanese customs and habits

The white silk kimono worn by the Japanese bride at the wedding was originally the dress worn by the bride when the Japanese samurai got married in18th century and19th century. In traditional Japanese weddings, the bride's hair is pulled up and tied up with a turtle shell comb. The bride's face is painted white with powder, wearing a white veil and veil, and all the clothes from underwear, kimono to coat are pure white. This means that the bride is "blank" both mentally and physically, and starts a new family life from now on. Because getting married in Japan is not only the unanimous decision of the newlyweds, but also the existence of both families, white means starting from a "blank".

At the wedding, the bride usually has to change several sets of clothes. The original intention of this custom is not simply to dress up the bride, but to symbolize that the bride has gained a new life in the new family. Once, I took off my white skirt and put on a gorgeous dress embroidered with auspicious patterns (such as cranes and flowers), with colors of gold, silver and red. Then she had to put on another dark kimono worn by unmarried girls. This is the last time the bride wears this style of kimono, as the end of her innocent girlhood. The groom needs to wear a long black kimono, embroidered with his family's patterns on his back, chest and sleeves, and a plaid folding skirt. At the same time, he also needs to put on a coat with five family patterns, hold a white fan and wear white slippers on his feet.
