1959 Flyer from the Nippon Kangyo Bank, Ltd (which later merged into what is now part of Mizuho Bank) commemorating the marriage of Crown Prince Akihito and Michiko Shoda. It highlights the main events of the wedding, which are: November 27, 1958 (Engagement of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Michiko Shoda announced); January 14, 1959 (Betrothal ceremony (Nosai no Gi); March 16 (Held at the Shoda family residence); April 10 (Wedding Ceremony); April 13 (Court Presentation Ceremony at the Imperial Palace). The two origami cranes symbolize good fortune and marriage. The red and white colors are traditional for auspicious occasions in Japan.
