  1. Both outfits look good. Beautiful kimono dress and great looking longer striped jacket. They both look very relaxed, the emperor without a tie 👍

      Yes I agree, no tie a surprise. Lovely couple

  2. Peu importe si Masako est vêtue d'un kimono ou d'une longue veste bleu marine rayée de blanc, elle est superbe ; j'aime bien voir son époux quand il ne porte pas de cravate !

    The Empress outfits are lovely especially when the emperor coordinates his tie with her outfit. The kimono is very pretty.

    Empress Masako embraces that quiet elegance in her poise and everything she wears. But she also keeps it fresh and in style with that great blazer and trouser combination. Superb.

    Try to look for a YT clip of the state dinner. There you will see the Emperor give a violin recital accompanied by the Symphony Orchestra of Mongolia who were present at the event, for all the guests and his hosts. He plays the violin really well, and Empress Masako looked so proud of him. Talented man.

    Love both of Masako's outfits. Her kimono is beautiful, and the striped navy jacket with white trousers is an elegant look. I like that the jacket is a longer length than a traditional blazer.

      天皇ご一家は音楽を愛していらっしゃいます。
      皇后陛下はフルートを、愛子内親王殿下はチェロを演奏されます。

      @Anon 03:35 Thank you for that information. That is so nice to know. I wish we could get a chance to see the Empress and P.Aiko play, or even all three of them playing together.

    Le kimono de Masako et son obi sont tout simplement des chef d’œuvre. Magnifiques.

    写真の4枚目。着物の袖に描かれている小さな丸い模様は、天皇家の家紋の菊の花です。
    着物に家紋を入れると、正装としてこのようなフォーマルな席で着ることが出来ます。
    柔らかな印象の着物を、格調高い幾何学模様の帯で引き締めた美しい装いです。

    Wow! HM looks sublime in her kimono. So elegant and beautifully tailored.
    It such a treat to see her in less formal attire. I love the jacket with the white trouser.
    HM really is such an elegant and graceful lady.
    Lowri.
