Mr. Yoshiko, who made an official visit to Austria, attended a memorial reception at the Japanese Ambassador's official residence on the afternoon of 17th local time.

Yoshiko in a light blue kimono with a floral pattern was greeted with applause by the people concerned, and after greetings from the national anthems of both countries, she was greeted.

Yoshiko said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Austria, the exchanges have been wide-ranging and have ties with the Japanese imperial family. “The relationship between the two countries that has been built by many people will continue to be important. I sincerely hope that this will be passed on forever. "

Prior to the reception, Yoshiko visited a riding school in Vienna and enjoyed a special performance.

This riding school was founded in the 16th century and has handed down classic equestrians, so when a horse chops steps according to music under the chandelier, or stands up on its hind legs and balances, Yoshiko smiles. Applause was sent.
