The Showa Emperor on his enthronement ceremony wearing a sokutai

The sokutai is an elegant and complex dress that was only worn by courtiers, aristocrats and the emperor at the court in Japan.

Although the sokutai is not used anymore, the imperial court still uses it for rare occassions such as weddings and enthronement ceremonies.
