EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a traditional Japanese wedding at the iconic Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo. The 20th-century priest, accompanied by his beautiful bride and their family, celebrates this joyous occasion with utmost reverence and cultural significance. The groom, dressed in an exquisite black kimono adorned with intricate patterns, exudes elegance as he leads the procession towards the sacred temple. Walking under a vibrant parasol that symbolizes protection and good fortune, he showcases his role as the male figurehead in this holy union. Beside him stands his radiant bride, resplendent in a stunning white wedding kimono known as "uchikake". Her graceful presence is accentuated by delicate floral motifs embroidered on her attire, representing purity and new beginnings. As they approach the Meiji Jingu Shrine's grand entrance gate, guests gather to witness this auspicious ceremony steeped in centuries-old traditions. The religious clothing worn by both men and women reflects their deep-rooted connection to Buddhism and Shintoism – two influential religions intertwined within Japan's rich cultural tapestry. In this photograph captured by CK from Discover Images by AWL, we are transported to a moment frozen in time – where love merges seamlessly with spirituality. It serves as a reminder of how weddings can be more than just personal celebrations; they can also be profound expressions of faith and devotion within capital cities like Tokyo.
