Clad in kariyushi shirts from Okinawa Prefecture, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and members of his Cabinet held a meeting Tuesday at the Prime Minister’s Office in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
Wearing kariyushi summer shirts at a Cabinet meeting is in line with the nationwide Cool Biz campaign for dressing more lightly in the summer and is an annual event in early June.
All ministers wore kariyushi shirts Tuesday except for Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, who was absent from the meeting as he had tested positive for COVID-19.
The prime minister wore a blue kariyushi, which he had received as a gift from Okinawa Vice Gov. Yoshimi Teruya on May 11.
