these from his majesty, the imperia
bridal coupe will have no end Q
them. They will come in every snap
ind form from all parts of tie empire
und from high and low. There will BIZ
cranes and turtles of solid gold and
old silver without number. these
things are emblemauic Of longevity
and are very common as wedding
gifts in Japan.
It has not been decided what the
wedding ceremony will be nor Wheth
er it will be after the style of the old
Japan or a new form gotten up by
the advisers of the imperial household
and the emperor to suit the new con
ditions. If it is according to the old
forms b, royal nighness and the
prince will dress tor it in Japanese
costume, the princess wearing about
thirteen silk garments, one over the
other, and going through several
changes of clothes before the wedding
Is accomplished. In ordinary Japanese
weddings no ring is used and no prom
ises are made by the pair as to fidel-
ity, obedience, etc. The wedding con-
sists of the drinking of number of
cups of Japanese wine or saki togeth-
er in a certain way.
The princess is well advanced for
her age When she left school her
chief studies we're japanese and Chi
nese literature, universal history,
French, mathematics, penmanship
and drawing She has dropped every
tSing but her history, geography and
French and is devoting more time to
her music She now has private tutors,
who come to her house to teach her.
The princess is noted for her poetic
ability. She writes beautifully and
her cherry tree illusions are said to
be especially fine. In both music and
poetry she will vie with the present
empress who is noted as one of the
most DeadLifG, writer's of Japanese po-
ems. Her imperial majesty displayed
remarkable poetic ability when she
was as young as the Princess Sads.
and her sonnets are now celebrated
