President of Vietnam Vo Van Thuong and his wife Phan Thi Thanh Tam are making an official visit to Japan. On November 28, 2023, President of Vietnam Vo Van Thuong and his wife were received by Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko were also present at the meeting.
Both the dress and kimono are simply exquisite
ردحذفAbsolutely, one wonders what the price range is.
حذفIndeed. Such a beautiful color for the empress.

حذفA kimonos price is out of this world and far from all Japanese women own one......a real kimono is almost more couture than the big fashion houses robes, so we're often talking USD tens of thousands and often much much more......アグネタ
Obviously the ladies had a phone call before to match their clothes.
ردحذفMon regard s'est tout de suite porté sur Masako qui porte un kimono aux magnifiques couleurs ; dommage de ne pas voir Kiko de face afin d'admirer le sien ; j'adore la cravate couleur vert amande de Naruhito qui est comme toujours très bien vêtu !
ردحذفBeautiful ladies in traditional dress.
ردحذفAbsolutely! my favourite outfit on the empress. Thou at first glance, i thought the Vietnamese first lady was wearing a wedding dress.
حذفBoth ladies look splendid in these traditional gowns. The design and workmanship are very artistic, elegant and beautiful. There is a clear contrast between the two. One is minamalist while the other is maximalist but they photograph well together.
ردحذفThe dress and the kimono of the ladies are serene in their simplicity and pale colours, but my eyes are drawn to the lovely collars of both. So beautiful and somewhat satisfying in the way they are gorgeously cut (in one case), and folded (in the other).

I prefer the Vietnamese traditional dress worn by the president's wife. The kimono of Empress Masako is beautiful too of course, but what I don't like on these kimono's is the large belt and the kind of backpack. I also like the way the president's wife did her hair. I never saw Empress Masako with her hair loose.
ردحذفThe obi of a kimono which is the belt ending in the "backpack" really IS the kimono.......so without it, it won't be a kimono......Not very comfortable, I can tell you.....Long sleeves for young and unmarried women, short for married not young ladies. And the colors fades off the older you get, too. C

حذفSince you seem to know much about the kimono, maybe you could tell me if there is something in the obi that a Japanese lady is carrying with her ? Or is it just the fabric that is fold or filled in a special way to give the impression that she is carrying something on her back ?

حذف@ Anonymous 07:53 About the obi ending in the "backpack", there's nothing inte the backpack, it's just for making the ladies beautiful. In modern not so very expensive kimonos you can buy the obi and the backpack separately, then you just stick the backpack onto the obi. Often, in the front of the obi, you can stick your fan (sense or uchiwa). For a handbag there are small pouches hanging in a string of silk. It's important that the kimono show the neck so the material is not sticking onto the neck. Hope that will help a little! 米なさい アグネタ
Wow, are those some exquisitely dressed people. Even the guys look perfect.
ردحذفImpressive. Such calm, such dignity.
حذفMy grand kids could learn a lot from their culturre.
The Empress looks stunning. Beautifully crafted. The President's wife looks fabulous, gorgeous outfit.
ردحذفSo wonderful dresses!
ردحذفLove this Kimono and the Gown of the Vietnamese First Lady are stunning! css
ردحذفThe two ladies look like exquisite porcelain dolls - so delicate and refined; beautiful colors and ornamentation. So elegant!
ردحذفBoth ladies look divine in their respective garments. Edwina
