Traditional vs. Western Japanese Wedding Attire - Cultural Comparison Guide #3271414 (License: Personal Use)

The image illustrates two distinct Japanese wedding styles: on the left, the groom wears a black montsuki haori with family crest and hakama, while the bride dons a white shiromuku kimono with tsunokakushi hood; on the right, the couple embraces Western fashion-a black tailcoat with bowtie and a strapless white gown with veil and red rose bouquet. Both pairings reflect deep cultural symbolism and contemporary preferences in Japan’s evolving matrimonial traditions.
