    1. Agree. Elegance, Japanese style.
      Not a false note anywhere.

    Every 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.
    Ladies always look the same - it doesn't matter if it's 2003 or 2023.

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

  8. 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 !
