Thank you all for the beautiful pictures!!! I love old pictures very much. I would like to add one that I had recently found.

I present the first empress of Japan to be photographed :

The Empress Eisho (1834-1897).

Pic can be found here here : http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~kazuya22ai/ai/img/358.jpg
(don't know how to attach images...I am sorry...)

A bit about Empress Eisho : She was the wife of the 121st Emperor of Japan, Emperor Komei (1831-1867) and also the adoptive mother of Emperor Meiji. Her name was Asako and she was of the Fujiwara Clan, Kujo branch.

All the pictures are really impressive - I do admire the Japanese royal children as they are so cute. Older royal members look very nice too.

My goodness!, I cannot thank you enough! I've always searching for these kinds of photos, & do you know how hard it is to to find? especially Hirohito's family & princess Teru. They're stunning and also a good quality. You've lighten my day!
