Love lives on
A wedding was underway in a small shrine overlooking the Kobe harbour. I've always been fascinated by how cutting edge yet traditional the Japanese are, particularly the young. This couple was no exception.
Then I noticed a woman, whom I assume is the mother of the bride, waiting by the side to have a family portrait taken. She was holding a photo frame containing two photos, which I believe must be of her late father and husband. A more senior woman was with her, probably her mother.
So this was the photo they took - three generations of women on the day they welcome a new man into the family, with two of the most important men in their lives watching over them in spirit.
On the menu: baked chicken meatballs with cucumber yogurt.
