Empress chose kimono to support emperor
TOKYO, Japan - Japanese Emperor Akihito (L) and Empress Michiko bow to bereaved families of victims of the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, during a government ceremony in Tokyo on March 11, 2012, to mark the first anniversary of the disaster. The empress chose to wear a kimono and Japanese sandals so she could move more easily to support the emperor, who had been discharged from the hospital a week earlier after undergoing heart bypass surgery on Feb. 18, in the event he were to fall, a senior Imperial Household Agency official said on March 15.
