  1. What a beautiful kimono--the floral embroidery and fresh lime colors are lovely. Her western dress is a bit more lively than yesterday's suit but I actually like the kimono best of all so far.

  2. Very, very pretty kimono and lovely, perfectly-tailored dress (I love the subtle, feminine details). Princess Mako's hair, makeup and posture are also impeccable. She represents her country with charm and dignity.

  3. I think she looks sad. I hope she’s able to marry her fiancé because she looks like someone who is missing a loved one.

    1. I agree, she looks very sad, her smile says it all. She looks lost.

  4. I just feel so sorry. I see sadness in her eyes. Her fiancee is going to law school in the United States, and I think she's upset that she isn't allowed to marry the man that she loves.
    I can't imagine how hard it must be living such an old fashion life and she's only 26.

    If Kimono or Western Clothing she looks very stunning. In uni colored dresses she looks fine I like her better in patterned dresses just MO.

  10. Poor girl. Isn't allowed to be her own person. Not allowed to smile. She always has that same scared little rabbit look about her. Kimonos are so pretty. I think she would have made a very good geisha in another life.

      Do you know 'geisha’ means?
      Please don’t use that ward for her.

    2. Anon 5:41 what does it mean? Time honoured job in Japan although perhaps not what the Imperial Court would deem appropriate for a Princess.

    3. I admit that I am no expert on japanese culture but as far as I know many of these women were geishas because they had no other choice.
