On Friday, the Japanese imperial family gathered in Tokyo to celebrate Emperor Naruhito’s birthday, and there were plenty of beautiful pearls and brooches on the palace balcony for the occasion.
Emperor Naruhito of Japan celebrated his 64th birthday on Friday, and members of his family accompanied him as he thanked crowds outside the palace for their well wishes. He was joined by his wife, Empress Masako; their daughter, Princess Aiko; his brother and sister-in-law, Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko; and his niece, Princess Kako.
Emperor Naruhito and Crown Prince Fumihito wore elegant morning suits for the appearance, while the ladies of the family wore dresses with daytime jewelry: earrings, necklaces, and brooches.
Empress Masako was elegant in navy blue velvet for Friday’s appearance, wearing a dress with gathered detailing and beads on the neckline and cuffs. The dress has been in her collection for several years.
She accessorized with a pair of pearl button earrings and a brooch in the shape of a feather.
Like the other imperial ladies in attendance, she also carried a pair of white gloves and a fan.
The Emperor and Empress’s daughter, Princess Aiko, joined her parents on the balcony. She wore a light blue gown with a subtle floral print and darker blue accents at the waist and cuffs, plus a hat made from the same fabric.
She wore small pearl earrings, a single-stranded pearl necklace, and a pearl brooch with her ensemble.
The brooch appears to be shaped like a small bouquet or posy, with pearl “flowers” or buds.
Crown Princess Kiko was elegant in yellow for the balcony appearance. Her dress also featured a subtle floral print, as did her matching headpiece.
She wore small pearl stud earrings and a longer pearl necklace, plus a lovely brooch featuring a gold and pearl cluster suspended from a golden ribbon.
And finally, here’s Princess Kako, daughter of the crown princely couple, looking lovely in royal blue on the balcony. She also wore pearl earrings, a pearl necklace, and a modern brooch that looks to be set with pearls as well.
