Princess Kako, the second daughter of Prince Akishino, attends the opening ceremony of the Vietnam Festival starting at Yoyogi Park, Tokyo.
Although the start time was delayed by an hour due to the rain, Princess Kako listened attentively to the performance of the traditional Vietnamese musical instrument Torun and was warmly applauded.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Vietnam, and the number of stalls nearly tripling from last year will be open until tomorrow.
