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.
ReplyDeleteSuperbes 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 !
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of the Akishino family really stands out.
ReplyDeletewhere 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 !
ReplyDeleteIt’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.
DeleteDisagree 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.
DeleteD'accord avec Achard62.
ReplyDeleteLa 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.
ReplyDeletewhere are all the comments that were removed, and why?
ReplyDeleteUne 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 !
DeleteI think because they were considered offensive which is no good.,
DeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteAlways elegant.

These are charming photos. Graceful, sincere and elegant. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely, 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!!
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
