Today, Empress Masako celebrates her 58th birthday. Masako Owada was born on December 9, 1963 in Minato. Masako became the empress of Japan in May 2019. On the occasion of the birthday, the Imperial Household Agency released new photos of Empress Masako, which were taken at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Events to celebrate her birthday will be held by reducing the number of attendees, among other measures against COVID-19.
Japanese Empress Masako and Emperor Naruhito visited former Emperor Akihito and former Empress Michiko at the Takanawa Imperial Residence in Tokyo.
Such quiet grace. She is my favorite royal.
ReplyDeleteUn véritable soleil que j'ai plaisir à voir – Toute vêtue de doré jusque dans les chaussures, elle éclaire ma journée pluvieuse dans cette jolie robe aux lignes simples sur laquelle nous pouvons voir une sorte de boléro aux revers satinés ; comme d’habitude, l'empereur est très classe en sachant coordonner la couleur de sa cravate avec la tenue de son épouse à qui, nous souhaitons un bon et excellent anniversaire !
ReplyDeletePerfection. Happiest birthday wishes to the Empress.
ReplyDeleteEmpress Masako's golden dress and jacket are exquisite and, as always, perfectly tailored for her. I love the slightly darker cuffs and collar of her jacket and the stripe on the side seam of her dress. Marvelous. What I can see of her icy blue outfit, in the second group of photos, is also very pretty. Her pearl jewelry is very nice.
ReplyDeleteThe portrait of the couple is delightful with their coordinating ensemble! The gifts are intriguing. Happy Birthday

ReplyDeleteFreu mich für die Kaiserin , vor Allem dass der Kaiser aus Liebe zu seiner Frau ihr immer treu zur Seite gestanden hat :) :)
ReplyDeleteDa haben Sie mal wieder recht, Hannelore!
DeleteOh ja, vorallem in dieser strengen Dynastie.
DeleteLovely warm colours in the clothes and the flowers! I like how he coordinates his tie to Masako's wonderful golden dress. The photo of them smiling to each other is the best of them all.

How lovely the Empress looks--the gold ensemble is so elegant and is really perfect on her. The color, cut, style--all so flattering! It is so wonderful to see the Empress doing so well and looking so happy and healthy. She is radiant in these photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is a truly lovely ensemble, subtle but elegant. Love the colour tone of her shoes. The Empress looks fabulous. The perfect finishing touch are the double strand pearls, lovely.
ReplyDeleteThough I like the golden coloured ensemble EM's wearing I feel it would improve when the skirt being a couple of inches shorter (and still well below the knees according to Japanese fashion standards).
