Japan 2006 > The Wedding

Sakae, the bride. This was the first time we'd had the honor to actually meet her.

"Braid the raven hair —
Weave the supple tress —
Deck the maiden fair
In her loveliness —
Paint the pretty face —
Dye the coral lip —
Emphasize the grace
Of her ladyship!
Art and nature, thus allied,
Go to make a pretty bride.
Art and nature, thus allied,
Go to make a pretty bride."


That is so culturally insensitive but I had to say.
