Princess Aiko of Japan is visiting Tottori Prefecture in western Japan to attend a national conference on disaster preparedness and visit an exhibition dedicated to the popular manga series Detective Conan, also known as Case Closed. This marks her first visit to Tottori and her second time attending the conference, following last year’s event in Niigata Prefecture.
On 17 October 2026, Princess Aiko arrived at Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport, where she viewed an exhibition dedicated to Case Closed, whose creator, Gosho Aoyama, is from Tottori Prefecture. She also visited a facility supporting employment for people with disabilities, where she watched a performance by facility users featuring an instrument known as the zendaiko, a type of Japanese percussion instrument.
Princess Aiko attended a session on disaster preparedness from women's perspectives at the 11th National Conference for Promoting Disaster Risk Reduction 2026, held at Acepack Mirai Chushin in Kurayoshi. Female university students and other participants presented their disaster preparedness activities.
During her three-day visit to the prefecture, Princess Aiko is also scheduled to visit areas affected by the 2016 Tottori earthquake and see the Tottori Sand Dunes on Monday, 19 October.
Outfit far too conservative (skirt length) for such a young woman.
ReplyDeleteBut she’s a Japanese imperial woman, so for her context she’s perfectly dressed. In a western culture she would probably choose orher clothes, but what she’s wearing is really perfect in Japan. Fashion is so cultural but maybe we forget and assume all should dress as we dress. I find fashion interesting precisely because of the cultural differences … and would find it very boring if there were only one correct fashion for young women!
DeleteNot in Japan, at least not among some women categories.
DeleteI agree why oh why do they advise her to dress this way.
DeleteBecause @15:00 what she wears is beautiful in Japan and as a royal Japanese. If we view her through American fashion, she stands out … because she’s not American. That’s the fun - she’s Japanese and we get to see other cultures through her. That’s good!
Delete@10:44 but she lives somewhere else, in another culture, in other norms. We can’t judge across the world what others wear by our “standards”… fashion is fickle and varied and I love that!
DeleteLa couleur vert sauge pâle de sa tenue lui sied à ravir ; petit bémol au niveau de la jupe que je trouve un peu trop longue - Est-ce que j’ai déjà vue cette broche délicate arborée par l’impératrice, sa mère ?!
ReplyDeleteThe colour is gorgeous for her. I see she prefers pastels, this darker pastel is really lovely for her!
ReplyDeleteOther than the colour and the jewels, way too conservative. I image the length just below the knee , a bit less fabric around the hips, and a nice open pump in a dark sage colour. She must have a very conservative advisor, even her mother dresses more modern
ReplyDeleteToo conservative for … ?
Delete… or she lives in another country with another fashion culture that’s rather wonderful to learn about?
DeleteFor Japan it is beautiful, but conservative . Her mother dresses more stylish
DeleteVery perfect, very elegant and lovely outfit and the most lovliest smile!!!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the rules of the Princess's outfit--and I do not agree with them but will not argue the point because it is cultural for an Imperial princess. Are my fingers itching to grab a pair of scissors to cut inches off that skirt? Absolutely! But, given the restrictions of her position, I love the suit--it is beautifully tailored and the color is perfect for her. She looks lovely and poised--and her confidence in her role is so apparent. I know her parents must be super proud of her.
