Original Japanese wedding studio photograph from 1964 (Showa 39), produced by Ohama Photo Studio in Ajisu, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The portrait shows a groom in Western formal attire and a bride in a traditional Japanese wedding kimono with a tsunokakushi bridal headdress. The photograph documents Japanese wedding customs during the postwar Showa period.
The original studio presentation folder features gold embossing with the Japanese character for longevity and a pine motif, traditional symbols of good fortune. The photograph and its mount bear the studio's name and telephone number.
A handwritten inscription records the wedding date, March 26, 1964, together with the names and ages of the couple.
Original black-and-white photographic print on paper, probably a gelatin silver print, preserved in its period presentation folder.
