dainty effects were produced with
the help of japanese lanterns. fans
and umbrellas. We learn from this
ceremony that tea and rice balls
are considered as almost sacred in
Japan; that there are no spoken
VOWS I'm this service and that when
the bride and groom kneel and drink
together from the t~wo-spouted tea
