Description
"November" (其十一 嫁入 — "the eleventh, wedding procession") from 1898 depicts the November wedding procession — the formal parade of the bride's household and belongings to the groom's family, a significant social ritual that marked the transfer of a woman from her natal family to her husband's. The wedding procession was both a private family event and a public spectacle, passing through the streets with the bride's trousseau and attendants visible to the neighborhood. Shuntei renders this social ceremony with attention to the specific dress and arrangement of the procession.
