Salon Élégance
de CéciliaCécilia’s Circle
A private circle hosted personally by Mirei Cecilia Hakuba, gathering only those she has invited.
A Life, Not a LessonAbout the Salon
Salon Élégance de Cécilia is Mirei Cecilia Hakuba’s own private circle — a small gathering that she hosts and curates personally.
Manners learned in a classroom become a manner of living only when they are practised among people. The salon exists for precisely that: an evening at table, a night at the ball, an afternoon among the arts — hours spent in fine surroundings with women who share the same standards.
So that every guest may feel entirely at ease, the circle remains by Cecilia’s personal invitation only, and we do not intend to grow it in size.
“Where elegance becomes a way of life.”
The OccasionsOur Gatherings
Le Dîner
Dinners
Formal dinners at Tokyo’s leading hotels and restaurants, where the table is set properly and every courtesy is observed — guidance on dress gladly given.
Le Bal
Balls
An evening in the ballroom: the escort, the greeting, the dance. There is a poise that only a ball can teach.
Les Arts
Culture
Wine, art, music and the customs of royal courts — the cultivation that gives conversation its depth, in the company of specialists.
Le Monde
International
Occasions welcoming guests from abroad and Tokyo’s international community, where international manners are practised rather than merely studied.
Programme, venues and frequency vary through the year; members receive the calendar personally.
To Join UsAdmission
Who may join
By personal invitation from Mirei Cecilia Hakuba only.
How it proceeds
Enquiry — a private interview, usually at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo — Cecilia’s personal review — your first invitation.
Mixed occasions
The Elegance Academy Tokyo is a finishing school for women. Occasions shared with the gentlemen of The Gentlemen’s Academy Tokyo are held through this circle alone.
The privacy of our members comes first. Photography, introductions and any form of solicitation at our gatherings are governed by the rules of the salon.
You are most warmly invited.
We should be delighted to tell you more about the circle.
