This exhibition on the history of wedding ceremonies showcases items such as betrothal gifts, trousseaus (the bride’s outfit) and wedding food of the era when wedding ceremonies took place in homes to current wedding magazines and wedding registration papers.

Wedding dresses designed by the world-famous bridal designer Katsura Yumi and a collection of Uchikake bridal robes and Furisode (long-sleeved kimonos) will also be on display.
