For the Love of Opera Gloves presents a collection of images of the Japanese Imperial Family's female members - Empress Michiko, Crown Princess Masako and Princess Kiko - wearing opera gloves on various state occasions (especially their wedding days; by modern tradition, Japanese princesses always don Western formal clothes for their presentation to the Emperor and Empress after their wedding ceremony).
Most of the pictures in this gallery were originally scanned by "jun5" and posted on Les Tribunes Royales; these are provided here through his kind permission.
