Fuzoku Gaho published by Toyodo, the first graphic magazine in Japan, was issued between 1889 and 1916. This volume comprises three special issues of the magazine featuring Japanese weddings and a reprint of the classic 東都歳時記 (Toto Saijiki or Edo Chronicle) . The wedding special numbers were published between 1894 and 1896, and the specially transcribed edition of 東都歳時記 (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. 東都歳時記 (Toto Saijiki) was originally published in 1838 during Edo period. 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. Each issue of these fascinating magazine special issues included in this volume are richly illustrated with delicately printed images. When referring to this item please quote stockid 174969.
