On the occasion of the New Year, the Imperial Household Agency released official portraits of the Japanese Imperial Family. The photographs of Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako, and Princess Aiko were taken at the Imperial Residence on December 23, 2025.
The photographs of the Crown Prince Akishino family were taken at the Akishino Residence on December 14, 2025, while the portrait of Emperor Emeritus Akihito and Empress Emerita Michiko was taken at the Sento Imperial Residence on December 16, 2025.
Lovely family photos of Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako, their daughter Aiko, and his parents, what a sweet older couple.
ردحذفSuperbes photos particulièrement celle des empereurs émérites ; Michiko nous montre toujours du goût en sachant mettre en valeur sa tenue par des bijoux fins mais élégants ; son époux a su choisir une belle cravate dans des tons de bleu pour être à l'unisson avec elle !
ردحذف日本は敗戦国として国民が自信を無くしていた時代がありました。
حذفそこへ民間人の美智子様がおとぎ話のように皇室に嫁がれ、彼女の美しさとファッションに国民は熱狂しました。
The beauty of the Akishino family really stands out.
ردحذفwhere did all the comments disappear that were here earlier, about 4-5 hours ago? Come on Helen, it is the start of 2026, stop censorship, when this blog is about sharing ideas, whether they are good or bad. It is each person's perspective !
ردحذفIt’s not censorship - it’s her blog and if she feels people are being rude and will for instance offence others who read here, then she has the right and privilege to cull those comments. Remember this is not a public news site but a private blog which has an owner/s who allows individuals to add comments but asks them to write respectfully. When they don’t, their comment quite rightly can be removed. If you would like a blog with uncensored comments, you could do that! Meanwhile, I’m very very happy to have bloggers who are checking that we are kind and on this particular post, not offending the respectful Japanese readers who also comment here.
حذفDisagree 14:35. This is not an open forum but an individual’s blog. Some people’s perspectives are really mean and I’m ever so glad their comments are removed.
حذف@14:35 it’s not censorship to delete comments you don’t like from your own blog.
حذفD'accord avec Achard62.
ردحذفLa plus élégante des dames est Michiko avec cette robe raffinée aux ganses en satin. Paloma.
A charming classy family. I especially like how grandma dresses and her fabulous pearl necklace.
ردحذفwhere are all the comments that were removed, and why?
ردحذفUne petite astuce pour me souvenir d’eux depuis mon ordinateur ; j’ai créé un fichier Word pour les y coller après les avoir copiés pour les envoyer ; il me suffit d’attendre leur retour !
حذفI think because they were considered offensive which is no good.,
حذف@21:11: none of your business where they are and why. This is a private blog with its own house rules about respectful comments and you are a guest here. Accept or Leave are your options.
حذفLovely photos.
ردحذفAlways elegant.

These are charming photos. Graceful, sincere and elegant. Lovely photos.
ردحذفLovely, gentile family. But I gotta say, Grandma and Grandpa are still my favorites. Their loving expressions in so many photos over the years -- you can't make that up!!
ردحذفThank you Helen for removing mean comments. I appreciate it so much when you do this. Commenters, let’s keep this blog respectful and a nice place to be.
ردحذفThank you, Helen for keeping this blog clean and respectful. Mean spirited comments have no place here. Hopefully, we are people of integrity, even though our fashion tastes vary dramatically sometimes. And we need to be respectful of different countries' long-held traditions, even when we believe fashion and style do not match our own standards. I like to think "trends" will come and go, especially in California. But old world charm, elegance and classic styles will stay with us forever - no matter the country. Happy New Year - Virginia Dogwood.
