Empress Emerita Michiko looks wonderful considering the terrible injuries she had a few months ago. Emperor Emeritus Akihito looks good for his age.
It's sad to remember that the Balcony was full of family members at New Year's years ago.

Very dignified and sad. I think the late Princess was well-loved by her family. It looks like her daughters and her granddaughters who remain in the Imperial Family led the mourners (they are the only ones with veils on their hats). I did notice all the female mourners carried fans. I tried Googling why, but got nowhere other than it is customary. Does anyone know more?

I couldn't find any information either, but I did find out that in Japan a Fan is called an Ogi.
