Hello!
I hope this is the right place to post this.
I recently found an old picture of my grandma wearing what looks like (to me) some traditional Japanese clothing. It's a very old picture, and sadly there's no one we can ask for more information (other than forums like this).
Can anyone here tell me anything about the outfit? Like, would it be worn for any specific event? It looks like formal wear, similar to a traditional bride's outfit, but I'm not very knowledgeable in that area.
Just a quick background story, my mom is Japanese and was born there, but she was adopted by an American family at a young age, so she doesn't have many memories of her mother. She eventually reconnected with some of her relatives and learned that her mother married some time after my mom was adopted, so I thought maybe this outfit could have been worn at her wedding.
Any information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.
