Princess Hisako and Princess Ayako of Takamado were in Hiroshima last week to attend the National Junior Highschool Archery Championships. Last Wednesday they paid a visit to the Peace Memorial Park, both dressed in memorial white ensembles. Princess Ayako wore a simple white hat with short, upfolded brim while her mother, Princess Hisako, wore a larger scale design with flat brim and domed crown in the style of a Pork Pie hat. This is an unusual millinery shape for Hisako that I thought the sleek design was great on her.
What do you think of Hisako’s interesting hat?

I like both the interesting shape and the lightness of Hisako’s hat. The brim looks wafer-thin in these photos.
They both look lovely and I do like the bigger hat on Princess Hisako.
I always love to see one of my favorite princesses, and I love her hat.
I love Hisako; she has some of the best millinery of the Japanese Imperial Family. This is a great hat for her and its simplicity is wonderful. What I’m not certain about is her beige-colored skirt, which seems a bit at odds with the rest of her stark white outfit (based on these photos).
I agree with what Jake says: August 16, 2016 at 7:36 pm. I love both hats, but the beige skirt is weird.
It suits her, but I prefer Princess Ayako’s hat.
I like it very much!
Very smart!
