Summary
NoS Summary - Japan and her marriage customs.
Pathe Intertitles - "In Japan, the bride’s wedding gown is of heaviest silk, often an heirloom passed from generation to generation -".
"The real wedding is solemnized in the groom’s home. Groom and bride sip three times each from a saucer of saki."
"Last of all comes the ceremony of the burning candles. The symbolism is that the two lives are new as one ... and may they live happily ever after!"
