Exchanging nupital cups at a wedding

The three-times-three exchange of nuptial sake cups is observed to solidify the marital bond. Originally, a small girl and boy poured the sake into the cup. The sake container was usually illustrated with male and female butterflies. The bridegroom has a topknot and wears ceremonial garments while the bride wears a wedding hood made of flattened cotton and a ceremonial dress. ==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐52‐0]
