Imperial Robes
Can someone hook me up with some websites or actual photos that contain images of the Family wearing their traditional robes?

Have a look at our wedding forum for any of the Imperial weddings and you should see them in their traditional robes. Also, there's a photo of Empress Teimei in her coronation robes in the historical picture poll (which closed yesterday).

At wikipedia you can see them in their robes. At least I found them there from Emperor Komei til Prince Akishino.

Ah, okay.
You see, I've already got a vast collection stored away at photobucket of these sorts of pics. I think it is between 35-40 pics. I just wanted to see if I could wrap up my collection by finding any others.

There's a photo in one of the issues of Majesty magazine showing Empress Michiko dressed for her husband's enthronement ceremony in 1989. Do you have a copy of that one?

Just curious, is there any special significance in the difference of coulours/patterns between the wedding robes between different members of the impirial family? For example, between the Crown Prince & Crown Prince and Prince Akishino & Princess Kiko, their wedding robes are differnt in colour/pattern, is there any special reason for that besides the difference in rank?

It may have to do with the time of year they got married. The colour combinations have a seasonal significance, so that might explain the different colours. It could be something as simple as the personal preference of the bride, but I suspect it's more symbolic.

If anyone interested about this clothing, they are called sokutai 束帯*(for men palace court attire) and jūnihitoe 十二単*(for women formal court dress; also known as itsutsuginu-karaginu-mo*五衣唐衣裳). You may get better result if you search using those words on internet.
