  25. Edwards, Walter.  Modern Japan through it's Weddings: Gender, person and
  26. society in ritual Portrayal. California: Stanford University Press, c.

  29. Edwards also has some articals on the same subject, I recall one in the
  30. journal of Japanese studies, but don't remember when.  Hope this helps.
