  1. Adorable princesse Kako que je trouve plus élégante dans ce manteau ceinturé près du corps sur une robe noire ; par contre, les chaussures sont toujours dans le même style donnant une impression de lourdeur !

    Princess Kako always manages to look beautiful and elegant within the confines of what appear to be strict wardrobe rules for members of the Imperial family.
