Wow! wonderful pictures. From some of the pictures, I think Michiko is from a rich family. She was a very beautiful girl and seem very well educated as well.

Thank you for your kind note to Empress Michiko.
I think that Empress Michiko is still one of the most elegant women in the world. She is a truly elegant and beautiful woman.

I agree, Emperess Michiko is one of the most poised, graceful and elegant women in the world. She carries herself very well and appears in pictures to be very soft-spoken and kind and well-mannered.
I do not know a lot about her; did she come from a well-to-do family?

Thought I would post more pics of the Empress in her younger days. She was a true beauty as you can see from the pics below. I must say that the Empress is the embodiment of serenity and calm.

Empress Michiko comes from a wealthy family industrialist family. Her father was the president and later honorary chairman of his company. She met Emperor Akihito on a tennis court in 1957. They got engaged in 1958. Although, she came from a wealthy family, she was nonetheless a commoner. Some traditionalists did oppose the match as Michiko wasn't part of the nobility. But, after the engagement the couple proved to be popular with the people. Empress Michiko is the first commoner to ever marry in to the Japanese Imperial Family.
Empress Michiko is also a very smart woman. She was the valedictorian of her graduating class and has co-authored several poetry collections.
Interesting fact: After Michiko married Emperor Akihito (Prince, at the time), lots of new born baby girls were named after her.
