Ishikawa was the only person to document the damage caused by the U.S. bombing of Tokyo during the war. The Imperial Family also met with members of the younger generation who serve as storytellers, sharing memories and reflections on the wartime experience.

  2. La famille impériale est bien élégante ; tailleur-pantalon de
    Masako et pour Aiko, un tailleur avec une veste croisée
    sur une jupe droite qui change beaucoup des modèles trop
    larges - L’empereur est toujours très chic sans un faux-pli !

    2. Shape of skirt and tailoring is so becoming on Aiko! I recall when she was born and it’s lovely to see she has grown into a happy and lovely young woman who makes her country proud. MR

  4. Aïko's jacket and skirt ? or dress ? seem to fit well, but the design is much too old for her.

    1. Yes true, but ... From what we have seen earlier about Pr Aïko, I think this is an improvement.

  5. Im not sure if Princess Aiko is wearing a skirt or dress, regardless she looks good. The jacket is a great idea, a bit mature looking for her, though she still looks lovely, the black underneath is what I especially like. Love her black shoes. The Empress looks smashing in this beautiful pair of well fitted pants and jacket, especially, I love the fit and design. The blouse underneath is perfect, I love the lighter color and neckline of the blouse. This is a well put together ensemble. The color tone grey of her shoes, is perfect. She is always well groomed and attired.
