EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emperor Hirohito in his magnificent coronation garments, dating back to the years 1924-1926. As the 124th Emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession, Hirohito's reign spanned an impressive six decades from 1926 until his passing in 1989. The portrait captures him donning a resplendent robe and holding a fan, exuding an air of regality and authority. During this period, Emperor Hirohito married Princess Nagako, his distant cousin and eldest daughter of Prince Kuni Kuniyoshi. Their union took place on January 26,1924, marking a significant moment in Japanese history. This image serves as a testament to their partnership and the beginning of their journey together as Empress Nagako gracefully stood by her husband's side throughout his long reign. The photograph is rich with color and detail that transports us back to early twentieth-century Japan. Notably wearing glasses with formal attire adds a unique touch to this portrayal of royalty during that era. The kimono worn by Emperor Hirohito reflects both tradition and elegance. Preserved by The Print Collector organization for historical significance rather than commercial use, this image provides us with a glimpse into an important royal event that shaped not only the lives of these individuals but also influenced the course of Japanese history itself.
