How do Japanese get married? Japan's peculiar marriage customs.

Every country has different ways and customs of getting married, and the customs in different parts of a country will be different. Some people may marry foreign partners, but they need to be familiar with each other's marriage process in advance. There are also many wedding ceremonies and customs in Japan. So, how did the Japanese get married? What are the peculiar wedding customs in Japan?

How do Japanese get married? Wedding ceremonies in Japan can be roughly divided into three types: before god, before church and before Buddha.

Shen Qian style

"Pre-ceremony", that is, "pre-ceremony marriage", is a traditional wedding in Japan.

The sacred wedding ceremony began in Muromachi era in Japan. This wedding style rose from the Japanese elite in the early 20th century, and spread to all parts of the country more widely after the war. Until the 1990s, it was the most popular type of wedding in Japan.

Church style

Church wedding is also the most popular wedding ceremony in Japan. The new people wore western-style dresses and white wedding dresses and swore to God to get married in the church. This is similar to the typical western ceremony and the most common form.

Pre-Buddha style

In addition to the divine style, there is another one? Pre-Buddha wedding? Suitable for couples who like traditional wedding forms. The difference between it and the pre-God style is that the venue has changed from a shrine to a temple. The traditional ceremony has also changed, sending rosaries and burning incense.

The first peculiar marriage custom in Japan is that Japanese women wear white clothes when they get married. You know, when you get married in China, you have to wear red very festive clothes on that day, which means you are prosperous and happy. But in Japan, it's different. Japanese women wear white clothes. What is this white dress called in Japan? White and flawless? Wearing this dress means bidding farewell to youth and welcoming a new life. On the third day of marriage, the bride will put on festive clothes.

Second, before the Japanese bride gets married, the day before the wedding night, she must shave off all her eyebrows before she can enter the marriage hall. In the local people's idea, if the wife shaves off her eyebrows before getting married, it means that the bride will devote herself to the groom's arms and grow old together. Shaving off eyebrows is also easier to make up and outline more beautiful eyebrows.

The third one, which I find difficult for China people to understand, is to paint their teeth black. In the Japanese concept, blackening your teeth when you get married is a beautiful performance. I believe many people in China have never heard of it. Blackening teeth is also a kind of beauty, which should be just the custom of some tribes in Africa.
