Mikado’s Coronation Robe.

For the coronation ceremonies at Kyoto this fall the emperor of Japan, says the Tokio Advertiser, is having made a full uniform of a design worn by a Shogun of 570 years ago. The costums is being made in the household department. The cloth has been handed down from old times. Because there was some difference of opinion as to the method of making and sewing this unusual uniform, members of the department in charge of the tailoring were sent to inspect the treasures of the sacred shrine, Atsuta, where ancient costumes of the period are to be found. The dresses at Atsuta are to be brought to Tokio at the request of the household department.
