According to Japanese media reports on December 5, Prince Aiko Eiji, the only daughter of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, joined the ranks of the adult royal family at the age of twenty, wearing a crown and wearing a chinese dress to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, and receiving the highest medal awarded by the emperor to the female royal family, the Grand Ribbon of the Crown, in the three palace halls of the imperial palace.
The 20-year-old Princess Aiko's appearance and temperament have improved a lot compared with before, and she appears elegantly in a white Chinese dress. Cloaked in medals, with a embossed dark lapel jacket and white gloves holding a folding fan, the most formal dress made Aiko look quite noble.
Aiko curled her long hair, left half air bangs, and wore a gorgeous crown on her head. The crown shape is beautiful and young, and the jewelry such as diamond necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are also very dazzling.
A pearlescent son stepped out of the imperial palace, showed a warm smile in the face of the reporter's congratulations, and thanked him. The generous and gentle appearance of the fallen is becoming more and more like that of her mother Masako.
According to reports, in order to save public expenses, the emperor and his wife did not include Aiko's crown production fee in this year's court fee, and chose to borrow the crown of Naruhito's sister Kiyoko Kuroda and then modify it to a head shape suitable for Aiko.
Although Aiko's crown is less fresh and surprising, it is different from the two princesses of the Akishinomiya family, Mako and Yoshiko. The crown worn by Makoto and Kaneko is made at public expense and is returned to the Imperial Household Agency for preservation after marriage. Kiyoko's crown was customized for her daughter at the expense of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, which belonged to her personal belongings and is now passed on to Aiko.
In addition, it is customary to postpone the first adult press conference held on birthdays until mid-March next year during Aiko University's spring break. Aiko's first official event will be a "New Year's Celebration Ceremony" on New Year's Day.
