Lovely to see Princess Akiko participate in more events now than we have seen before. She is a lovely and very personable looking young lady.

Divine. I would totally change my mind on the senselessness and pollution of motor racing if we all turned up so beautifully and serenely dressed.
ReplyDeleteI’m with you. Those kimonos are incredibly beautiful. I particularly like Princess Akiko’s.
DeleteDélicieuse Akiko dans ce kimono nous montrant des branches de cerisiers en fleurs qui permettent de se croire au Japon !
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a higher than usual presence of Princess Akiko. She looks very engaging and in the moment! Love the traditional gown. Kimono is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLe kimono et l’obi sont tout simplement magnifiques. Josée.
ReplyDeleteDear Helen, What a sartorial treat, actually I was never aware of princess Akiko, I hope we can see more of her.

彬子様の帯には、牛車が描かれています。
ReplyDeleteサーキットと牛車の取り合わせが面白いですね。
芸者が着物の裾を引き上げ、袖を腕にかけているあの動作は、芸者特有のもので、一般の女性はしません。
牛車、写真を拡大したら見つけられました！洒落が効いていますね。
Delete個人的な好みで言うと、帯揚げはもっと濃い色の方が締め色になって良いのではと思いましたが、考えてみると、成熟した女性らしく落ち着いた色合いというのも、これはこれで良いのかもしれません。
The Japanese Grand Prix. So nice to see her again. The Kimono is beautiful.
