Photos of the daughters of Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako from Corbis

#1: The Three Daughters of Japan's Emperor and Empress. Tokyo, Japan. Recent photo of the three young daughters of Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako Kuni. Left to right: Princess Atsuko Yorinomiya, who was born March 7, 1931; Princess Kasuko Takanomiya, born Sept. 30, 1929; and Princess Shigeko Terunomiya, born Dec. 6, 1925. Another daughter, Princess Tachiko Hisa, born Dec. 10, 1927, died March 7, 1928. Photo taken on Feb 23, 1933.

#2: Barefoot Princess. Tokyo, Japan: Princess Kazuko Take, 19-year-old third daughter of Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako, sweeps her own room. She moved from the Imperial Palace to the residence of the former Grand Chamberlain Saburo Hyakutake to learn all about housekeeping. June 29, 1948.

#3: Emperor's Daughter Weds Commoner. Tokyo, Japan: Emperor Hirohito's eldest single daughter, Princess Taka, 19, and 27-year-old commoner Toshimichi Takatsukasa were married by seven Shinto priests, May 20, at a private family wedding attended by Emperor Hirohito and the Empress Nagako (right). Ceremony was held in the Western-style Tokyo residence of Prince Takamatsu, brother of the Emperor. Groom is a collector at the Government Railway Museum, Tokyo. May 20, 1950.

#4: Japanese Princess Becomes Commoner. Tokyo, Japan: Seen after a centuries-old wedding ceremony held at the stately Korin Mansion here are, (left to right), newlywed former Princess Suga of Japan, who now becomes plain Mrs. Takako Shimazu. Her parents Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako, and the bridegroom, Hisanaga Shimazu, a commoner bank employee. The 21-year-old youngest daughter of the Emperor and Empress thus left behind the stilted, ritualistic imperial court to become a commoner housewife who will live with her mother-in-law.

I think this was during the marriage of Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako in 1993 before a reception.

thank you for the Coronation Crown Pic.
It is most unusual to see a proper Japanese Imperial Crown, or even a representation of one.

Question: who was the 114th Emperor, and what were the years of his reign?

thanks,
Warren

I think so too. It is most unusual to see.
now might not wear a crown like that, because the method of the coronation was extremely changed in 1890's.
I don't know...

The 114th emperor's name is emperor Nakamikado, his first name was Yasuhito.
He reigned for 26 years (from July 27, 1709 to April 13, 1735).
