Celebratory Mood


We've got celebratory mood now.
Because,princess 清子 [Sayako] got married 15th November.
She got married 黒田慶樹 [Yoshiki Kuroda] (40). He is a Tokyo civil servant.
They held a wedding ceremony at 帝国ホテル [Teikoku Hotel].
Her parents came there. It was first time!!
I mean Their majesties the Emperor and Empress joined private ceremony.
She became general citizen now.
She name was 紀宮 (It's the imperial name) [Norinomiya]清子. Now,her name is 黒田清子 [Sayako Kuroda].

And,the ceremony was modest. It was like a tea party.

Give you just a information!! Do you know 名古屋 [Nagoya] ? It's a place name in 愛知 [Aochi] prefecture.
It's farmos that Nagoya people hold very grand wedding ceremony. haha.

So,I felt that she reminded us Japanese modest woman...
What do you think??
