Some Japanese still get married by parents arrangement. Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka, a young Japanese couple living in the United States, told the story of their arranged marriage. We didnt marry for love in the Western sense. We got married in the traditional Japanese way. Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker (媒人), in Japanese we believe that marriage is something affecting the whole family rather than a matter concerning only the young couple. So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background, education and so on. Matchmakers are usually middle-aged wome who keep lists of suitable young people with information about thir families, education and interests. When our parents thought it was time for us to get married, they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions. We discussed the details and looked at the photos she sent, and then our parents asked her to arrange a marriage interview for the two of us.
