In this article, we introduce recommended performances for brides having a traditional Japanese wedding＊

Traditional Wedding Performance 1＊Water Sharing Ceremony

The water sharing ceremony is an age-old tradition where the water from the couple's hometowns is poured into a single cup＊

Recently, it has become more personalized, with couples often using their local sake or soda to drink together♩

This ceremony symbolizes the meaning that "the bride and groom, who grew up in separate environments, come together to build a new family," which is lovely♡

Traditional Wedding Performance 2＊Daruma Eye-Painting

The daruma eye-painting is a joyful and auspicious performance conducted when making a wish or when a wish is fulfilled♡

Painting only one eye represents the saying, "Today is the start day! I will paint the other eye after we celebrate our first wedding anniversary," while painting both eyes signifies, "Thanks to everyone's support, our wedding was a success! It has been a wonderful day!" which is also a beautiful sentiment＊

Traditional Wedding Performance 3＊Masu Tower

If you want to surprise your guests, the masu tower is also recommended♡

The masu tower is an exceptionally entertaining performance that creates smoke by pouring hot water from a bamboo tube into a masu filled with dry ice＊

Many couples seem to be opting for this instead of a champagne tower or candle service♩

Traditional Wedding Performance 4＊Crane Shower

One popular performance for the exit scene of a traditional attire ceremony or a traditional reception is the crane shower♡

Just as a flower shower or ribbon shower on a wedding dress is adorable,

seeing colorful cranes resting on a white kimono creates a beautiful and unique atmosphere＊

It adds a touch of elegance to the couple's exit♩

Traditional Wedding Performance 5＊Shamoji Bite

The first bite performed with a shamoji (rice scoop) rather than a knife for the wedding cake is an entertaining performance at the reception♡

A big spoon is commonly seen, but a big shamoji is refreshing and unique to a traditional Japanese wedding＊

Traditional Wedding Performance 6＊Mochi Pounding

The last performance perfect for a traditional wedding is 'mochi pounding' during the reception＊

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the couple's first joint activity as pounding mochi instead of cutting the cake?

Asking guests to shout "Ei!" or "Yoi sho!" while mochi is being pounded would surely hype up the event even more♩
