On April 25, 2026, Princess Aiko of Japan attended the Spring Gagaku Concert performed by the Imperial Household Agency’s Music Department at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The concert featured kangen (instrumental ensemble music using instruments such as the shō and hichiriki) and bugaku (court dance performed to musical accompaniment).
Gagaku performed by the Imperial Household Agency’s Music Department is designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan and is also inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Regular concerts are held in spring and autumn, and Princess Aiko attends them almost every year.





La princesse Aiko est délicieuse dans cette tenue couleur rose pâle - Porte t- elle une veste sur une robe ; délicate sa petite broche où je vois des perles seules ?!
ReplyDeleteYes Achard 62 I think systematically the Japanese royal ladies wear sheath dresses with jackets over.
DeleteBeautiful and sweet Princess Aiko! MR
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely color on this always delightful princess!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the best colour for her I have ever seen her to wear. Her new hairstyle is also much more attractive than the previous, but if I could, I would ask her to make the parting in her hair straight. It always looks as if she had forgotten to make it properly.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see hair dressers who deliberately keep the parting as it naturally occurs. Why not ... Time for strict rules regarding hair styling is over.
DeleteI agree with the many others who love this beautiful, delicate shade of pink on Aiko ❤️. And I missed her glorious long hair at first, but now that her hair has grown to shoulder-length and is styled attractively, I love it. — Jane
ReplyDeleteLovely pale pink ensemble. Do like her hairstyle this way.

She looks very engaging and happy, she really has come into her own, matured in her role, wonderful to see. Her outfit looks lovely as does the sweet bag. Love her brooch and pearl necklace, she looks very elegant.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is a natural parting. I know that my natural parting goes from the middle to the left with a slight zigzag and can look real wierd when styling it with a straight parting, bits sticking up and curling the wrong way
ReplyDeleteThe pink color suits Princess Aiko very well. Unfortunately someone had the idea to make her shoulders broader by using too big shoulderpads. This is not necessary at all. I also noticed her little handbag. It ressembles the handbags made by Belgian designer "Voort Studio's". Queen Mathilde has a couple of these handbags. I presume Princess Aiko's bag is a Japanese brand.
ReplyDelete今回は愛子様がリクエストした舞踊が演じられたそうです。
ReplyDeleteその舞踊は、日本の古典長編物語「源氏物語」の中で、美青年の主人公が舞った優雅な演目です。
