While Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump engaged in golf diplomacy, their wives spent time Sunday learning about Japanese pearl cultivation in Tokyo’s top luxury shopping district.
Akie Abe and Melania Trump visited the flagship Ginza store of accessories firm Mikimoto, which has long been an official jeweler to the Imperial family.
Kokichi Mikimoto, the brand’s founder, created the world’s first cultured pearl in 1893. The company now harvests the pearls offshore from an island in Mie Prefecture.
The pair warmly greeted each other at the store before speaking with two ama, traditionally trained female divers who collect pearl oysters and seafood without the use of scuba gear.
Trump posted on her official Twitter account that she and Akie had a “wonderful visit,” enjoying “conversation over tea (and) the cultural presentation on the history of pearls.”

Imagine the mooch in that situation. Yuck.
To First Lady Melania's List.
That White again :)
On an unrelated but triggering fact, white is considered beautiful in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Filipino cultures, use caution when sharing this fact over non-FR sites ;)
Elegance defined.
Fat ugly libs must be aghast !
Agree on both accounts.
two ama, traditionally trained female divers who collect pearl oysters and seafood without the use of scuba gear.
The lib msm will be all over that.
Pearls. Sea pearls. Sigh.
Oh, that thought made me ill. Never, ever will we see Moochie dressed like a “real” woman.
Akie Abe must be the tallest woman in Japan.

Just imagine how that bitter bitch Moochelle would have scowled and grimaced her way through this entire event. It’s so nice to have someone worthy of being First Lady again.
WOW!
That's like parking a 2018 Corvette Z06 next to a 1968 Datsun Bluebird.
“On an unrelated but triggering fact, white is considered beautiful in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Filipino cultures.....”
How much would you like to bet the world, and fashion, wise Melania knew that?
First Lady Melania never misses a beat when traveling.
She knows how to elegantly impress in every culture she visits.
“Pearls. Sea pearls. Sigh.”
I remember, a lifetime ago, when girls were more impressed with nice pearls than diamonds.
Every woman who considered herself a lady had at least one nice pearl necklace for important social occasions.
Good southern girl Sarah H. Sanders almost always wears a string of pearls. Pearls scream, “class”.
I’m sorry; but, that clingy, white dress is close to see thru and not appropriate for a First Lady. She looks terrific in it; just, I dunno, a little too much runway model and not enough elegant First Lady.
Don’t be nasty. At least both are ladies.
Any woman standing next to Melania is at a terrible disadvantage.
