Yomeiri: Shiromuku

Related to Bokyou: Nostalgia, this is another piece from the series that explores one’s cultural identity. This piece, Yomeiri: Shiromuku, or 嫁入り：白無垢 (meaning Wedding In: White Dress) depicts a maiden in a traditional wedding kimono. Overlaid is the ghostly image of eagle wings spread with stars. In a traditional Japanese sense, a bride is to be wed to the groom’s family and therefore she becomes her husband’s family’s property.
