During our honeymoon in Japan last Spring, I spotted these adorable wooden figures of a bride and groom.

I wish I could tell you more about them, but I must apologize for my ignorance. My best guess is that they could function as both cake-toppers and later as home decor. Do any readers know the history or cultural significance of these wooden figures?
Also, I blogged about our minimoon in St. Lucia, but never blogged about our honeymoon in Japan because it seemed like an unusual destination. Would anyone be interested in learning more about our trip to Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and Hakone last April?
