The wedding special numbers were published between 1894 and 1896, and the specially transcribed edition of ????? (Toto Saijiki or Edo Chronicle) was published in 1893. The three special issues on Japanese wedding customs contain collections of essays on unusual and curious marriage customs found in various periods and regions in Japan. Some of the customs described were practiced by peasants in the countryside, while others were customs observed by the rich and famous, including aristocrats and shoguns. The issues discuss customs practiced right through to the time of publication, the last of these issues ending with a Christian wedding at church. ?????

It covers the seasonal and ceremonial calendars of Edo from January to December, chronicling the festivals, rituals and ceremonies throughout Edo's temples and shrines.

Shipping Terms:

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
