1880, influenced by the western royal family, the Japanese royal family began to wear western-style jewelry, which gave birth to the star crown inlaid with diamonds.
Later 1920, when the queen was taking a portrait, the crown she wore changed, and the stars in the crown were replaced by big round diamonds.
After that, Michiko's mother-in-law, Queen Yoshiko, was the last queen to wear the original crown.
Queen Yoshiko took part in many large-scale activities with this crown, and the stars on it shone beautifully. When I took a photo with the Queen during my visit to England, the crown changed and the diamond star became a round diamond.
During her visit to the White House, there were no star ornaments on the crown worn by Queen Jiazi, and the star ornaments passed to Queen Michiko never appeared. It seems to be used to make other jewelry or lost, but I have never seen it. In the eyes of minions, this crown looks good when there are stars, exquisite and elegant. After the change of Queen Yoshiko, it has changed beyond recognition. It is no longer like the crown in the past, but it has become much smaller and more popular.
Michiko also wore this crown to take official photos, participated in the state banquet of the Spanish royal family, and even wore this crown in the photos taken by Naruhito and Masako when they got married, which is enough to show how important this crown is in the Japanese royal family.
From then on, Michiko could no longer wear a crown because of cervical vertebra problems. This crown was kept at the bottom of the cabinet for a long time. It was not until Masako became the queen that the crown was rediscovered, but it was still a round diamond and there were no stars. I'm afraid it's hard to see you again in the future.
