On April 12, 2024, Japanese Princess Kako visited Meiji Shrine in Tokyo on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the death of Empress Shoken. Empress Shoken was born on 9 May 1849 and died on 9 April 1914. She took the imperial given name Haruko in 1867 and was posthumously honoured as Empress Dowager Shoken. The Empress was the wife of Emperor Meiji. The Meiji Jingu was built in 1920 for the purpose of honoring Emperor Meiji.
seems like each day this week we are seeing members of the imperial family doing the same thing, visiting the shrine, and wearing the same type of dress.
ردحذفwhy don't they all go at the same time!

حذفI agree. I also see that the hat is creamy and the dress is white. Bad combination. Surprised they didn't correct it. The responsible for the clothes are not so perfect than we think. I am also surprised that we can look at the pictures of this ceremony (and other). I don't remember I've seen before so many pictures of the Japanese Imperial family than during the last 2 years.

حذفAnche la signora dietro Kako ha cappello e guanti di un colore diverso del vestito. Forse non è un errore.
@anon at 07:34, Kako's dress looks light blue to me. You can clearly see the difference when she is walking with the man in white loose tunic. She looks very pretty.
حذفLast week we saw other, more distant, member of the Japanese Imperial Family go to that particular shrine and pay their respects to the long deceased Empress. The'd all been dressed in the same way as we saw here and on pictures before. The reason why they all went seperately has to do with precendence. Only those in direct line to the throne go with the current Emperor/Empress. That would be Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko (as their son is not yet of age, he does not accompany them). After that, the Imperial Princess Aiko would go, and after her Imperial Princess Kako. Only then, on seperate days, other members will travel to the shrine as well. And one family a day only. That is why we saw some more distant family members still go there last week.
حذفI think because Aiko and Kako both work part-time (at the Deaf Association and the Red Cross respectively) so they have to arrange their engagements and work schedules.
ردحذفAnd yet they seem to get together at other family events
حذفKako est aussi ravissante que sa cousine Aiko ; ravie de la voir à nouveau au cours d'engagements !
ردحذفThe pale-color long dress &hut is the standard style for imperial women to visit shrine.
ردحذفLook at the background pattern of the silk fabric. Simple dress design brings out luxury.
It is known that if they choose to marry we won't see them in official royal capacity, so let them have a moment of individual attention while paying respects to a female ancestor. On this monitor, the dress looks pale blue, but Asian tradition is white for mourning so I will take everyone's word that it is white. Christine
ردحذفNice look for Pss Kako. css

ردحذفYou are right. It must be white, so white that it is shining light blue.
