On Nov. 23, 2019, Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako arrived at Tokyo station after completing their trip to Ise, central Japan, which they made to "report" to ancestors and deities the completion of all enthronement ceremonies. In Ise Jingu shrine's Geku outer shrine, Emperor and the Empress prayed to the goddess of clothing, food and housing in order to 'report to the gods' that the rites had been completed.

In Ise Jingu shrine, the Emperor and the Empress also carried out the 'Daijosai' Great Thanksgiving rite, offering harvests to gods. In Ise Jingu shrine, the couple also visited the shrine of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. The Emperor and the Empress will travel to Nara and Kyoto next week to visit mausoleums of past emperors.

    What a beautifully tailored AND finely detailed suit for Empress Masako. Is it raw silk? The deep champagne colour looks lovely on her, and she looks happy and is beaming. Her delicate pearl and gold brooch is exquisite.

    Empress Masako is beautiful in her gold suit and matching hat. Her gold and pearl brooch is gorgeous as are her pearl necklace and earrings. I particularly like the last photo because we get an obstructed look at this handsome couple. Others have mentioned, and I agree, that it would be wonderful if the Empress chose a style of hat that would not obscure her face.

    Beautifully groomed from head to toe. Love the addition of the gloves. Pearl jewellery the perfect finishing touch. Always smiling and pleasant. A beautiful woman

    The tailoring of her clothes are impeccable. It’s amazing how, outfit after outfit, it’s always so perfect. Look at the top stitching in the 3rd last picture. Just beautiful!
