[From the pages of the book]
A major factor in the attention Princess Kako's fashion receives is its "vividness of color." Among the colors she favors, blue is one of the most frequent. She wears a wide range of shades from pale light blue to dark navy, which enhances her refreshing charm.
Dots, stripes, checks, floral prints... Even bold patterns look incredibly elegant when worn by Princess Kako. She coordinates her outfits according to the time, place, and occasion, such as an all-over print dress with a black jacket, or a skirt adorned with three-dimensional flowers.
A master of versatile dressing, Princess Kako elegantly rotates a brown collarless jacket. She has worn it over dresses in three different colors: emerald blue, magenta, and vermilion. She seems to enjoy unexpected color combinations as well.
Princess Kako's traditional Japanese attire, which she wears on special celebratory days and for traditional Imperial Household events. Her colorful 'furisode' (long-sleeved kimono) and her elegant 'jūnihitoe' (12-layered ceremonial robe), which looks as if it's from a Heian period picture scroll, are a must-see. Her breathtakingly beautiful style is always a topic of conversation.
You can't miss the fashion when she appears with her parents, the Crown Prince and Princess Akishino, her younger brother Prince Hisahito, and her older sister Mako-san. In addition to official duties in matching outfits, you can see color coordination and a unity of materials during their family's private time.
Every year on her birthday, December 29th, commemorative photos taken at the Akasaka Estate are released. Dressed in real-life clothing like colorful coats and knits, Princess Kako captivates the eye as she expresses her life-sized, cute charm.
