The former princess Sayako, only daughter of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan, now mrs Yoshiki Kuroda was also present at the exhibition.
Someone on Royaute 2 asked if she had children. Alberto on Royaute 2 answered that she has at least one child? Does someone have information about this imperial grandchild/children? When was it born? Thanks for any information. |

On hearing certain expressions or sounds of words from those around us that I think she may find funny, I glance at her and I have caught her looking at me with laughter in her eyes, she said. Moments like this make me feel very happy...............
