Caption by Homer Yasui: "Wedding portrait, presumably, of a young couple in Japan the man is wearing a formal montsuki, as well as the formal pleated trousers--hakama--and is holding the usual folded paper fan The bride, however, isn't wearing the usual horn-of-jealousy-concealing-white headcover--called a tsuno kakushi (literally, a horn hider)...I have no idea who the couple were."
