Princess Aiko turns four as Japan debates end to male-only rule
TOKYO (AFP) - Princess Aiko, the only child of Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito, turned four amid debate on a plan to break with more than two centuries of male-only rule to avert a succession crisis.
The Imperial Household Agency released pictures of Aiko taking a walk with her mother, Crown Princess Masako, in the garden of the Crown Prince's Palace in central Tokyo......

Succession debated as Japan's Princess Aiko turns 4
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Princess Aiko turned four on Thursday as debate swirled over a proposal to change the imperial succession law to enable her to become the first female to ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne in centuries.
Aiko, who has shed her baby fat but is still the spitting image of her father, Crown Prince Naruhito, clutched a stuffed animal and waved from a limousine on her way to visit her grandparents, Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.
Photos released by the Imperial Household Agency, which orchestrates the royal family's public appearances, showed Aiko in a round of activities from finger-painting and "rhythmic dancing" to playing with clay and gathering mandarin oranges with her parents in their palace garden........

Princess Masako did not participate in the celebrations in honor of her daughter and, although she accompanied to Aiko until the imperial enclosure, did not enter the dependencies of its fathers-in-law, then, according to she indicated Kyodo agency, she is observing a period of mourning by the death of its grandmother, Suzuko Egashira, the last year.

She must have eagerly awaited for her 4th birthday.

"How many more times do I need to sleep before I xxx xxxx?"
its the words of a famous Japanese children's song (nursery rhyme).
I think that she got the idea for this question from the song so cute:)

Japan ends decade of gloom with year of love
Japan has declared 2005 the year of "love" after a decade dominated by "disaster", "collapse", "poison" and other manifestations of doom and gloom.
In a poll scrutinised for its insights into the nation's mood, "love" jumped from 12th place last year to beat "reform" as the word that best summed up this year........

The craft is really good for such a young person! She did have help from her parents but I can imagine Aiko working really hard on this. She seems like such a sweetie! May she be a great Empress one day...hopefully!

EYE ON ASIA
By Brian Bremner
The Princess and the Workforce
The controversy over bringing four-year-old Princess Aiko into the line of royal succession may have larger implications for Japan's women and economy

The Japanese royal at the center of a national debate is all of four years old, and she's hardly the stuff of tabloid headlines. When the Japanese Imperial Household Agency releases photos of Princess Aiko, it's usually along the lines of the little princess digging sweet potatoes with her mother, Crown Princess Masako, at one of the Imperial family's royal palaces. Following Princess Aiko is about as scintillating as a covering a croquet tournament for the 80-plus set................

What a cutie! She's so adorable! She's got this beautiful pitch black hair that blends well with her snowy colored skin. :)
