On April 14, 2026, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako attended the Japan Prize Award Ceremony at the New National Theatre in Shibuya, Tokyo. Organized by the Japan Prize Foundation, the award honors outstanding achievements in science and technology and is presented to scientists and engineers worldwide who have made significant contributions to global peace and prosperity.
The award recipients included three individuals, among them Professor Shizuo Akira, Specially Appointed Professor at Osaka University, who elucidated the mechanism by which innate immunity recognizes pathogens. The other recipients were Professor Cynthia Dwork of Harvard University and Professor Zhijian “James” Chen of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
Empress Masako always elegant and graceful. I like this ensemble but once in a while it could be a little more color.

I am not sure, but I think the colour white has something to do with Masako‘s position as empress and is symbolic, which means that she has limited choice. Otherwise, the generous, ball-like cut of the ensemble is wonderful.

Empress Masako looks lovely. It's the first time that I seem to recall her wearing such a flared evening skirt. I think her top would have paired better if it had been a little more fitted and structured, but it still looks very nice. Both of them look very dashing.

I agree with you about the top. I would have preferred it a little shorter and more fitted.
Deleteもしかしたら、この時の上着と同じかもしれません。
Deleteウエストに真珠のブローチを付けたのでしょう。

ReplyDeleteTotally agree
DeleteWow lovely lovely, modern twist to conservative protocol. Perfect fit and the emperor so dapper.
ReplyDeleteI love the long flowing skirt, very elegant.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful, elegant and stylish ensemble. I love the skirt of her outfit, wonderful graceful movement as she walked. Her jacket fits perfectly both the outfit and the Empress. Carrying her matching color gloves adding a touch of class.
ReplyDeleteWaouh, je n’ai jamais vu autant d’élégance tant chez l’empereur que chez l’impératrice !
ReplyDeleteAlways impeccable!
ReplyDeleteAn exquisite ensemble, as so often, on Empress Masako.
