On January 1, 2023, Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako, Princess Aiko, Crown Prince Akishino, Crown Princess Kiko, Princess Kako and other Japanese royals participated in the New Year reception held for ambassadors to Japan at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The reception is traditional and takes place every year at the beginning of new year.
The chair of the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors, and foreign ambassadors were present at the event.
A picture of elegance.

Agree. Elegance, Japanese style.
DeleteNot a false note anywhere.
Such a pity they don't do tiaras anymore on this occasion.
ReplyDeleteAlways classy and elegant css
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see this reception room in Japan's Imperial Palace, I remember my high school. Our school gym looked similar. Only lines on the floor (like an indoor court) and basketball hoops in the corner are missing.
ReplyDeleteLadies always look the same - it doesn't matter if it's 2003 or 2023.

The Royal ladies look lovely. I particularly love the pale blue gowns, fabulous, especially the sleeveless blue gown, the neckline is gorgeous.

DeleteThe dignity and mystery of this event is breathtaking. The bowing diplomatic corps in harmony with the imperial court. Perfection.

Que d'élégance parmi toutes ces dames royales même si je préfère la princesse Kako vêtue d'une robe bleu pâle sur laquelle je crois voir de délicates broderies ; elle est vraiment délicieuse !
