Description

Wedding in Japan 2

This is a Japanese bride. She carries a knife to remind the groom of the consequences of divorce. The reason a bride carries a knife is because the modern "traditional" wedding ensemble of an uchikake is based on the formal clothing of noblewomen, who carried knives so that if their homes should be invaded then they could commit suicide and protect their honor.
