    What a beautiful lady, she looks as lovely and young as the day she was married. Her daughter is just as beautiful. The pearls, and clothes are equally as lovely. Edwina

    Very happy birthday to Empress Masako. I sincerely hope her health gets better and better in the future. The embroidered scarf she is looking at in the picture is a splendid piece of craft, I can only wish we may see Empress Masako wear such colourful pieces to liven up her pale silk ensembles !

  4. She looks fantastic, younger than her age, naturally ? She wears a nice suit, she seems to have swollen feet.

    Empress Masako is such an elegant lady. She looks lovely here. Her suit is beautiful and her simple pearls are not only classic but perfect with her suit. The blue silk scarf/shawl/? is gorgeous!!! I hope she has a wonderful birthday!

  6. L'impératrice ne fait pas vraiment son âge ; elle a l'air très heureuse et décontractée sur ces photos mais au niveau de la mode, son ensemble élégant serait mieux avec une longueur à mi-mollet ; incontournables les perles qui apportent une touche délicate à son look. Masako a été gatée avec le cadeau d'un châle ou d'une étole aux grands motifs japonais !

    Masako is such a graceful royal and one of my favourires. Being in this role hasn't been easy for her by any means but she has persevered and thrived. The coordination of the colours of the ladies outfits, the Emperor's tie and the floral arrangement is beautiful. I love the last photo of the three of them.

  8. Wow, she doesn't look like sixty at all, in spite of the difficult time she's had. I hope they all get on well with each other, being such a small family in this situation must be very lonely.

  10. She looks younger than her age. If only she could wear what she likes and not what the rules (dictated by men) for female members of the imperial family are saying. It looks like she is enjoying her present, which is very beautiful.

  11. My oh my. 60 years’ old !
    I’d never thought of the Empress’s age.
    Always assumed that the Empress would be about 40 years heading towards 50.
    Happy Birthday to a very beautiful Empress.
    I hope there are many more happy ones awaiting her to enjoy.
    In February of next year, the Emperor will celebrate his 64th birthday.

  12. She looks stunning with lots of class and grace. Can’t believe she is celebrating her 60s, a beautiful young and natural look. All the best !
