Crown Prince Akishino (Fumihito) and his wife Crown Princess Kiko visited Ise Jingu Shrine in Mie Prefecture and the Emperor Jimmu tomb in Nara Prefecture. The visits purpose was to proclaim the completion of a ritual known as Rikkoshi no Rei, which took place back in November 2020 to make it official that Fuhimito is the heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne.
Emperor Naruhito's younger brother, Crown Prince Akishino thus completed the last step to officially become first in line to the throne. Afterwards, Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko attended a reception at Yamato Kashihara City Hotel in Nara Prefecture.
Trois couleurs différentes de tenues ; j'aime beaucoup la dernière mais pas au niveau de la jupe dans laquelle elle flotte ; rien de tels que les incontournables collier et boucles d'oreilles de perles pour apporter une touche d'élégance !
ReplyDeleteok if it is a ritual.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the women have to stay a few steps behind the men. I can understand it when it is a ritual but even when they entered at the reception she is behind him. On earlier occasions I didn't noticed that.
ReplyDeleteThe fashion style in general : the usual boring outfits.
The skirt of princess Kiko's suit when she enters the hotel where the reception took place, was not an example of good tailoring like we are used to see in Japan.
Well, if women could inherit the throne they - Akishino and Kiko - wouldn't even be going through this ceremony because the current emperor's daughter would be next in line. Everybody would be walking behind her. So it is what it is.

Voir les femmes marcher à 5 mètres derrière les hommes, à notre époque !! ils sont vraiment rétrogrades dans cette monarchie, sans parler de leur tenues, on dirait qu'elles ont 90 ans!! et pourtant l'ancienne Impératrice à 80 ans était toujours superbement habillée. Je préfèrerais les voir en Kimonos traditionnels!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I can't work out who is who (hidden behind masks) most of the photos are not close enough to see details of their gowns.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll put the kettle on and relax with a good cuppa.
From what can be seen with photos at a distance, the Royal ladies, look well groomed, and subtly dressed. The pearl necklace and earrings look lovely, so elegant in the last photo.
