Japanese Princess Kako is making an official visit to Brazil this year to mark the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Brazil. Brazil is home to the largest population of people of Japanese descent in the world, numbering 2.7 million. Princess Kako paid tribute at a monument honoring the deceased pioneers of Japanese immigration in Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo.

    The first outfit : immaculately elegant, without any sign of latest fashion vibes. Just perfectly fitted and elegant. The short jacket, worn probably over a dress is especially attractive. - And oh my, is she beautiful ... (1st pic)

      I agree re first outfit, just darling. Her hat is incredibly pretty on her. Second outfit, what a beautiful silhouette and nod to the cherry blossom of spring.

    The blue dress with the embroidered flowers and her kimono are simply splendid. She is also becoming very confident, animated, and at ease in public engagements. I sense that she is being groomed for big things when her father eventually becomes the Emperor. Good for her!

      The truth is that she also, like her sister Mako, will leave the Japanese Imperial Court as soon as she will be getting married. Her brother, Prince Hisahito, will be educated as the future Emperor as soon as he will become of age (20 in Japan; Imperial Household). She might get send abroad for some diplomatic exchange right now, but that will cease upon her marriage. Sad, but the harsh reality in the Japanese Imperial system.

    What a treat to see Kako! I love everything I'm seeing. The navy and white outfit is traditional and stylish--the short white jacket is perfectly paired to navy dress. The hat has a touch of flair that helps make the hat look modern and fashionable. The pale blue dress--wow! the trailing flowers are exquisite. Yes, the bodice appears to be a bit big but the color and flowers are beautiful. Finally, her kimono is gorgeous--truly a wearable work of art. Kako herself looks beautiful and elegant in everything.

    Peu importe de voir ses tenues, la princesse Kako sait bien représenter la cour impériale ; en regardant mieux, c'est quand même dans son kimono qu'elle est à son meilleur !

    She manages to be tiny, elegant and sweet and very impressive and strong at the same time!

      She’s pretty terrific - but is she tiny? Looks similar to the other ladies in the pics?

    The Navy and white outfit suits the occasion. The hat looks great, suits her so well. Love the single strand of pearls, very elegant. The Kimono and pale blue dress, and embroidery also lovely. Such a treat to see her, she looks very elegant.

    The princess looks like a dresden doll and has got to be the secret weapon of the Emperor's family. She shows such great interest in everything she does and executes to perfection.
    Like the white jacket and the kimono. But the blue dress is my favorite, although it could be fitted a little better to her body (probably not her decision). But someone tell me - how do the ladies wear those flip flops with socks? Looks uncomfortable!

      白いソックスのように見えますが、これは「足袋」と言い、木綿を使って立体的に縫い上げた着物専用の物です。
      ビーチサンダルに似た履物は「草履」と言い、金箔を巻いた糸で織りあげた豪華な生地を表面に貼って作られています。

    Elle est magnifique avec son kimono. Je me demande comment on arrive à marcher avec de telles chaussures par dessus des chaussettes.

      着物を着た女性は歩幅を狭くしてゆっくりと上品に歩きます。
      袖が長い「振袖」は若い女性専用の着物ですので、なおさら淑やかな動作が求められます。
      着物の時の履き物は「草履」と言い、それほど歩きにくくはありませんけれど駆け足には不向きです。

    @DSC yes and no, I agree with you, but at the same time we don't know, things might change, or she might remind unmarried, or I don't know. Maybe its just my wishful thinking.
    I also don't to recall Mako being so active as Kako is, am I wrong? Was Mako quite active royal events?
    Within the royal Japanese fashion I do like her outfits.

    I wish she could be the empress rather than forcing it to always be men.
