  1. E Masako is wearing a beautiful kimono! The colour is gorgeous and to add to my joy, her hubby is wearing a matching tie! (E Naruhito really looks like such a lovely fellow!)
    The visitors look very nice- I love that ( raw silk?) dress .

  2. Well dressed, and the king with his matching tie. Interesting to see the interpreters sitting behind at the ready

  3. Que d’élégance chez le couple impérial - Masako porte un kimono dans des couleurs très douces dont une se rappelle dans celle de la cravate de son époux tiré à quatre épingles !

  4. Wow, ladies. When I see national dress looking so beautiful, I’m sad about the demise of countries having their own clothes, and about globalisation and fashion marketing increasingly bringing about one fashion globally.
