Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako made a two-day visit to Ehime Prefecture on the occasion of the 76th National Tree Planting Festival. On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the Emperor and Empress attended the ceremony of the 76th National Tree Planting Festival at the Ehime Prefectural Sports Complex. The Emperor and Empress also visited Tobe Zoological Park.
The National Tree Planting Festival has been held since 1950 as a central event of the national greening movement. Its purpose is to deepen public understanding of forests and greenery, which form the foundation of the nation’s rich natural environment.
Tobe Zoological Park is home to more than 635 animals representing 144 species. The zoo’s most popular animal is Peace, a polar bear that was hand-reared through bottle feeding.









Love the second outfits - for both the Emperor and Empress
ردحذفI love the empress’s beautiful mint green outfit!
ردحذفWouah, je ne peux pas dire vers quel look de Masako va ma préférence soit le vert anis ou pied de poule ?!
ردحذفI particularly like the second outfit (nothing wrong with the first one, though). The gingham pattern (or is it houndstooth? Not sure) looks fabulous on her.
ردحذفAgree they are both well fitting. The light coloured jacket on the emperor is very nice as well.
حذفこの柄は、日本では「chidorigōshi」と呼ばれます。
ردحذفchidoriとは小鳥の名前で、このデザインは鳥が飛ぶ姿に似ていると言われています。
一方、英語では犬の牙という意味ですね。
Merci pour cette signification en français ; on en apprend tous les jours !
حذفAIで調べましたが、このデザインを鶏の足と呼ぶ国も多いそうですね。
حذف楽しい!
It’s great to see the Empress who looks so beautiful and happy!
ردحذفFlying bird = Houndstooth! Excellent, thank you!
ردحذفBoth of the Empress's dresses are truly beautiful, but I have to admit I have a strong preference for that gorgeous mint green! It's not an easy color to wear. A sincere thank you to the user who provided these beautiful explanations in Japanese.
ردحذفI love how the Empress can go from skirt suit to casual. I love the navy and white, even carrying it through into the shoe and clutch bag. Lovely.
ردحذفLowri.
Looks to be mint green suit, gorgeous color. Lovely ensemble, the pearl necklace, perfect finishing touch.
ردحذفThis casual outfit, well thought out, looks to be pearl and black pearls, necklace and earrings. She looks smashing, love the white pants and combined b/w jacket.
