Japan is a tiny nation with great culture and pride. Like Hindu marriage, Japanese consider marriage as a solemn ceremony. Japanese wedding is the confluence of two people and also incorporates many rituals that cement the ties between the two families.
Ancient Japanese weddings were celebrated around a low dining table with neighbours and relatives. Over the centuries, rituals underwent numerous changes. The traditional ceremony was ordained by a Shinto priest in a shrine. Today, the wedding rituals are performed at shrines, hotels, and ceremony halls.
A Japanese wedding ceremony may be Shinto, Christian, Buddhist, or non-religious. Couples choose the style of their wedding ceremony, that may differ from their own religion.
Today, the traditional Japanese ceremony is Shinto-style, performed by a Shinto priest and held at a shrine. The ceremony itself is very formal and usually very private, with only close family and a few guests present. Among the many wedding rituals, are the eating of sushi. This unique Japanese dish is very popular at American/Western weddings of all traditions.
Japanese wedding rituals often incorporate items that have strong symbolic meaning:
1.Bamboo represents both prosperity and purity. It is symbolic of simple elegance and strength.while
- Mizuhiki knot given at Japanese weddings is often shaped like a crane, symbolising prosperity and a long life.
- Folding 1000 gold origami cranes. Since cranes mate for life, they stand for good fortune, longevity, and peace in the marriage.
