Curious Japanese Bird Gift Rite Fuels Matrimony Folklore

The passage notes a queer Japanese marriage custom where the groom presents a pair of birds to the bride and she offers them to her parents. If unable to secure live geese, a groom may substitute toy imitations to avoid ill omens during the ceremony. The text mixes antiquated anecdotes with snippets on love, law, and social quirks from period publications.
