Princess Aiko, the eldest daughter of the Emperor and Empress, made her first solo visit to the tombs of the Showa Emperor and Empress Kojun on Thursday, to report her graduation from Gakushuin University and her new employment at the Japanese Red Cross.
Emperor Naruhito composed a poem unrelated to COVID-19 for the first time since the pandemic began at the New Year Poetry Reading at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Jan. 19.
Aiko, who studies Japanese literature at Gakushuin University in Tokyo, is reportedly set to be given her aunt Sayako Kuroda s tiara, according to Royal Central , due to the ongoing health crisis.
