Is this Prince Tomohito for real? The IHA has too much power and is entrenched in far too much tradition. Japan has to move to the future. I really feel for Princess Masako. It must be he!! to live in that constrained and sterile world.

A diamond tiara crown on loan from the Japanese Imperial Palace is displayed during an exhibition in Sofia November 22, 2005. The crown, along with other jewellery art masterpieces from the Mikimoto museum in Japan, are on display for the first time outside of Japan for the 'Days of the Japanese Culture' exhibition in the Balkan country.

Thank you for the photos, Mandy! I have wondered about Nori walking behind her husband and it looks as though it may only be on formal occasions since they were walking side by side in the photos taken at the park. It is lovely to see them again.

December 5: Thai National Day
.....our deepest respects to Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress and the Imperial Family........
.....It has also always been marked by close ties with the Imperial Family of Japan. This year, the people of Thailand were again honoured by a visit in August by His Imperial Highness Prince Akishino. We were also honoured by the gracious visits of Their Imperial Highnesses Prince and Princess Hitachi and Prince and Princess Akishino to the Thai Pavilion at the Aichi World Exposition 2005 in July and August 2005 respectively. Last month, the people of Thailand joined the people of Japan in rejoicing at the news of the wedding of Her Imperial Highness Princess Sayako.
We hope that in 2006, the Imperial Family, Government and people of Japan could join the people of Thailand in celebrating the auspicious 60th Anniversary of His Majesty's Ascension.....
