| 説明 | As elsewhere in the world, in Japan customs are borrowed and imitated, often to unintended avante-garde or ironic effect. Such is the Japanese package wedding. Wedding chapels dot the countryside--replete with faux Christian symbolism, semi-phony hymnody, and ersatz Christian ministers. Respectfully performed and enjoyed in total formality--the foreign observer immediately is struck by the fake-ness of the entire experience. My impression was nearly exactly like my impression of Disney Sea: stuff that looked real, sounded real, and felt sorta-kinda real--but the knowledge that it was utterly contrived ruined it for me. Having come from a church background in the US, the idea of Christian symbols being used in a strictly non-religious enterprise, scripture readings, sacred music, and Christian rituals being strictly artifice--it's not easy for me to wrap my mind around that.Japanese weddings. Watch this space--more to come. |
