get acquainted, nihon style.

Again, something very rare as you might imagine, for your viewing pleasure. i sneaked up on a shinto wedding complete with kimono on him and her. and for those who still struggle to get what japan is essentially about, a second picture to reassure you, that modern life is always close. the person in the center of the second picture with the hat on is the priest, the woman wearing the black kimono is the mother.
the shinto wedding is getting more fashionable lately, after some tv celebritys did it the traditional way. but most couples favour western style weddings.
for the average japanese religious correlations do not matter, one or the other way.
