# Picture Bride (1994)

## Synopsis

Picture Bride is a 1995 American Japanese-language film directed by Kayo Hatta. It follows Riyo, who arrives in Hawaii as a "picture bride" at the turn of the century for a man she has never met before. The story is based on the historical practice, due to U.S. anti-miscegenation laws, of Japanese immigrant laborers in the United States using long-distance matchmakers in their homelands to find wives.
