Safe-birth ritual held for Japanese princess
The wife of Japanese emperor Akihito's second son, pregnant with a possible heir to the Chrysanthemum throne, on Thursday underwent an ancient ritual to pray for a safe birth.................Attended by court ladies and her husband, Kiko was wrapped in a long white sash provided by Empress Michiko in a symbolic gesture to protect her unborn child, an Imperial Household Agency spokesman said. "From what I hear, all is well with the pregnancy," he added. Japanese women who have entered their fifth month of pregnancy customarily wrap a white sash around themselves on the "Day of the Dog" -- an auspicious day for birth according to the traditional zodiac. Dogs are believed to be good luck for birth as folklore says they give birth easily and safely................... http://go.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle....s/uk/worldNews Ceremony held for safe delivery of Princess Kiko's baby The ceremony, held at the prince's residence in Tokyo's Minato Ward, involved wrapping a sash called around her abdomen as a temporary maternity belt to protect the fetus. The prince and the princess later visited the Imperial Palace near their residence to report to Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko that the ceremony had gone smoothly and thank the empress for sending the sash as a gift.......................During Thursday's ritual, Prince Akishino handed the white sash to the 39-year-old princess and she wrapped the sash around herself in a different room with the help of an attending staff................... http://asia.news.yahoo.com/060427/kyodo/d8h8a8900.html Photo from NHK news  Last edited by mandyy; 04-27-2006 at 10:32 PM. |
