Japan’s Emperor Naruhito turned 65 today. A public gathering was held at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo to celebrate the Emperor's milestone birthday. In the morning, Emperor Naruhito appeared on the balcony of Chowa-den Hall a total of three times, accompanied by Empress Masako, Princess Aiko, Crown Prince Akishino, Crown Princess Kiko, and Princess Kako.
In the afternoon, a banquet was held in the Houmei-Den Hall of the Imperial Palace in honor of the Emperor's 65th birthday. Emperor Naruhito received congratulatory greetings from Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the heads of the three branches of government, and foreign ambassadors. Empress Masako, Princess Aiko, Crown Prince Akishino, and Crown Princess Kiko, along with other members of the Imperial Family, also attended the banquet.
To mark the occasion, the Imperial Household Agency released new photographs of Emperor Naruhito for his 65th birthday. During a photo session, the Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako discussed Dendrobium orchids and white plum blossoms displayed during a palace event at the Imperial Palace. The birthday photographs were taken with Empress Masako at the Imperial Residence on February 13, 2025.
J'ai beaucoup de plaisir à voir le prince héritier Akishino portant un style de cravate dans une couleur pâle unie ; cela change de l'ordinaire - Beaucoup de goût chez Masako ainsi que Kako qui est délicieuse dans cette couleur coquille d'oeuf ; j'aime beaucoup son serre-tête original - En ce jour particulier, j'ai failli oublier l'empereur à qui je souhaite un bon et heureux anniversaire !
ReplyDeleteLovely court dresses. The cousins both have what looks like tapestry handbags on a delicate gold chain. Princess Aiko dress could be fitted abit more snug so it fits better. Interesting that the details of buttons on the sleeves is the same on all the court dresses. Exquisite pearls
ReplyDeleteバッグの模様はPetit Pointの刺繍です。皇室の女性たちは皆、この非常に細かい刺繍が施されたバッグを愛用しています。
DeleteThe first word that came into my head after looking at the photos …….“dignity”.
ReplyDeleteMy computer dictionary says ……. “a composed or serious manner or style”.
Happy Birthday to the Emperor.
The cream and white Empress costume is amazing! Really nice jacket and very well fitting. I applausse. But, please, please, don't publish pictures of the Empress where we can see her skirt. Because we know the cut of the skirts of Japanese royal ladies.

Your correct the court clothes have strict requirements, however they do have subtle difference, so we need to see the complete outfit to appreciate how it looks overall.
DeleteI love seeing the single strand pearl necklaces, the size and quality of the pearls are perfection!
ReplyDeleteAiko looks so lovely in the soft blue; her dress and hat are superb.
ReplyDelete澄んだ香りの白梅の古木は誠実な天皇陛下を、優し気で華やかな蘭は皇后陛下を表しているように私は感じました。

卓上の魚は鯛です。これはお祝いに出される魚で、客は食べずに持ち帰るのが作法です。
