Description
A bride is being escorted to her wedding accompanied by several married women. They are passing a table with an arrangement of auspicious figurines and floral elements. Two figurines are Jo and Uba, an elderly couple who symbolize longevity and fidelity. Jo usually carries a rake (here just the handle is evident resting on his shoulder), and Uba has a broom. They are usually accompanied by cranes (shown above the pine and plum bonsai ) and turtles (here near Jo's feet) that are symbols of long-life or immortality.
