Oh my goodness, Masako looked so happy and adorable as a little baby. Her expressions are so adorable!

Yes, she was adorable! Hope she can be as happy in the near future. I love the baby/toddler pics.

Thanks for posting these- I never knew Masako had more than one sister. What are her sisters' names?

[Emily]

I know her younger sisters are twins and it was recently said on another thread that her sister Setsuko is currently living in Switzerland. That sister visited Masako and Naruhito while they were in the Netherlands.

[mandyy]

Her younger sisters are twins. Their names are Setsuko and Reiko.

[Vanesa]

They are all three very beatiful, indeed. But Masako is the prettiest of them.

Vanesa.

If you look carefully, there are captions except for the second and last two pictures. Picture #3 is a composite picture and only counts as one image.
