On March 16, 2023, Japanese Princess Kako visited Kairakuen Park, one of the three great gardens of Japan in Mito city. Kairakuen is built in 1842 and it is known as an ume (plum) tree. The garden features a forest of 3000 trees of over one hundred different plum tree varieties with white, pink and red blossoms. Japanese Princess Kako then visited Ibaraki Prefectural Mito School for the Deaf.
Such a beautiful suit color! She looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the skirt, a lot more appealing for a young person than the usual two piece suits the Japanese royal ladies wear.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are too old-fashioned for her.

Beautiful outfit and colour !! Shoes should be dark blue or cobalt
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful outfit! The colour is wonderful for her and the ombré skirt adds interest. The only thing I’d change are the shoes, to a nude sling back. The white pumps look a bit clunky to my eye. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteLe haut de couleur bleu-cobalt est associée à un bas tout en légèreté dont la couleur pastel dégradée lui va superbement bien ; une pochette et des chaussures blanches la flatteraient encore plus !
ReplyDeleteHad she worn a pair of shoes more modern, this would have been a beautiful outfit altogether.
ReplyDeletemy thoughts exactly
DeleteShe looks fantastic, what a marvellous shade of blue. I also like the shoes, very modern for Japanese female royals.
ReplyDeleteWov! Something new in the japanese court. I forgive the shoes 😂
ReplyDeleteLovely ensemble. I almost like the slippers more than the shoes.

Princess Kako visited there to plant a cherry tree. A cherry tree had been divided from the Kyoto Imperial Palace, where successive emperors had lived, but it had been knocked down by a typhoon in the year the current emperor acceded to the throne. It was cherished and loved by the local people because it originated from the Shishinden, the most important hall where the enthronement ceremony used to be held. People were delighted that Kako happily attended the ceremony without a mask and planted a young tree again.
ReplyDeleteHer blue dress looks nice in the spring garden. The color of the skirt is a gradation from blue to white. At the ceremony, she stood on the red carpet, and the white looked pale pink (the color of cherry), which was so beautiful. Her earrings were also in the shape of cherry blossoms. She brought the season of Sakura to Japan, which will be at its most beautiful in a week or two.
Thank you very much for all this information! Is there a blog on Japanese royals we can follow?
DeleteThank you for your reply. (Anonymous 22:07）
DeleteI know it is hard to get information from multiple countries, and I appreciate the operators of this blog.
I will introduce you to some video channels and websites of major news organizations.
This channel sometimes provides news videos of the Japanese Imperial Family in English.

It is in Japanese, but here you can find weekly updates on the schedule of the Imperial Family, and you can also find news articles. The articles and photos from the early Showa period (mid-20th century) are also available. (Some of them are chargeable).

I'm not sure to respond to your request, but I’m glad you are interested in the Japanese Imperial Family.
Thank you @Anon 12:27 for the video links.
DeleteI’d suggest to our fellow bloggers to try to find some time to look at these videos. They are a “must”.
A good insight into Princess Kako’s wardrobe.
A very beautiful and talented Princess.
May she continue to do her good work for the Japanese Imperial Family.
Thank you for the reply. Glad to be of help.
DeleteI agree she is a beautiful and talented Princess.
She is busy working for the Japanese Imperial Family.
Yet, some believe the negative campaign of tabloids and slander her and her family. Since the marriage of Princess Mako, it has become worse. The Imperial Household Agency sees these as problems and is considering SNS for the Imperial Family, but this has not been realized.
You may encounter some nasty comments, but don't worry. Many Japanese people love the Imperial Family.
She Pss Kako has not looked as great in a long time. This dress is fantastic, and she looks very good wearing it. css
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty outfit, love the soft colors of the skirt. The jacket blends well. She looks lovely. She seems very engaging, a good visit
ReplyDeleteThe shoes ruin the overall look. Edwina
ReplyDeleteTake a better look on the shoes, zoom! They are not old fashioned at all. They look good. (Elina)
DeleteI'd say that that the shoes are practical for the outdoor part of her visit.
DeletePlanting trees etc. Such a joy to see her.
I hope there is a nice Prince waiting around the corner to sweep her off her feet.🧡
Princess Kako was not wearing a mask when she arrived.
ReplyDeleteShe is wearing cherry blossom shaped earrings.

She looks absolutely lovely. Much better outfit too, more youthful and fun. Seems the Japanese imperial house is relaxing a bit the rules.
