Kyoto wedding

As the bride left..... She looked absolutely beautiful. The white cloth headdress worn by Japanese brides is called a tsuno-kakushi or "horn-hider," and the bride wears it to signify that she will hide her horns or not be jealous of her husband after marriage.

it was raining, i figured they just wanted to cover the hair. ^_~ kidding.

does this have any relation or connection to the veil in western cultures?

Now there's a tradition we need to transport to the west! Although I must say, her headgear reminded me of the Pope at first glance. Amazing apparel...
