EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Japanese Marriage Customs, c. 1820" takes us back in time to witness the intricate traditions and cultural richness of a Japanese wedding ceremony. The image, a colour lithograph created by the Japanese School in the 19th century, showcases an array of fascinating elements that make up this significant event. Intriguingly labelled with ethnographic details, we are presented with a visual feast of customs and rituals surrounding marriage in Japan during that era. From the beautifully adorned clothing on display to the carefully arranged dowry items and offerings, every aspect is meticulously captured. The photograph offers insight into the importance placed on tradition and symbolism within Japanese weddings. It highlights not only the elaborate wardrobe choices but also provides a glimpse into the meticulous preparation involved in creating a trousseau for the bride. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that this image was part of Isaac Titsingh's renowned book "Illustrations of Japan". Published in 1822, Titsingh's work aimed to bridge cultures by documenting various aspects of Japanese society for Western audiences. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. Through its depiction of Japanese marriage customs during Tokugawa period (1603-1868), it serves as a testament to how culture evolves over time while still honoring age-old traditions.
