| On April 17, 2019, Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan started a three-day pilgrimage to Ise Grand Shrine in Mie prefecture, the holiest site in Japan's Shinto religion. The visit to Ise Shrine, which is dedicated to a legendary ancestress of the imperial family, is part of a series of rituals for the Emperor's abdication. The imperial sword and jewel, two of the family's three sacred treasures that play a key role in the succession, are accompanying the emperor on the visit. The couple will worship at the Outer Shrine and the Inner Shrine on Thursday. |
So much class and Grace,for so many years. In about two weeks they can rest and do what they want, this Imperial Couple has earned it. Also love the Empress 's dress,just classy.
