The table behind them is decorated with figures of Jo and Uba, an elderly couple symbolizing longevity and fidelity, and cranes and a miniature pine tree, also symbols of longevity and good luck. The women wear colorful patterned kimono, except for the bride, who wears a white kimono with faint embossed detail. Nicely detailed with additional embossing on the white kimono trim, and burnishing on the black obi, black kimono, and black lacquer frame of the screen at right. A lovely image.
