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).
