  1. Gorgeous kimono from Kiko--and she looks beautiful. I also noticed that the Crown Prince's mustache looks different. I was never a fan of his mustache and have hoped for years he'd shave it off--but whatever he has done, it certainly is a huge improvement.

    1. It may be his moustache has gone white so less prominent.

  2. Always nice to see them. Love the Kimono, the only thing this one is a bit blend.

  3. I never saw a picture of the Imperial Family on a reception with a drink in their hand.

  4. I'm sure this kimono is made from high quality fabric, but i think the pattern is a little dull. I've seen more colorful kimonos. Anyway, kimonos are always beatiful and interesting.

    1. 紀子様は、地味な柄の着物を選ばれ、帯や小物が映えています。水色の着物を着た女性は、地味な帯を締めて着物の柄を際立たせています。

    2. 失礼しました。水色ではなく薄紫の着物の女性です。帯を強調したり、着物の柄を目立たせたり、両方を派手にしたりと、着物はいく通りにも着こなせるのです。

    3. 写真では色が飛んで、着物がよく写っていないんですよ。彩度が低い地色に白く染め残した箇所や鮮やかな柄を描いた箇所があり、実際はかなり華やかな着物なのです。それが全く写っていないために誤解をよんでいるのですよ。この加工で地色が鮮やかな場合、趣味の悪いものになってしまいます。鮮やかないい着物も別にあるのですが。

  5. Du couple héritier, c'est Kiko qui est magnifique dans ce kimono aux beaux motifs ; quant à son époux, il est toujours avec son éternelle cravate !

  6. Crown Prince Akishino needs to change his hair style, it does not suit him at all.
