Birthday boy

I think this prince looks cool, unlike his conservative older brother.

Looks like he caved and dyed his hair back to black. Some of my J-friends were moaning about that.

Since prince Hisato is a male descendant of the imperial family, I doubt he will have a single reason to worry in his entire life.

Looks like a staged photo op. Why sit there, on the grass, and get stains on your pants?

Happy Birthday, Prince. All I can say is that the IHA was darn happy when you were born and they and all of the conservatives in the Japanese government were breathing a huge sigh of relief!! Your parents definitely were visited by the reproductive gods in a most timely, if not too timely, fashion!!

Cute young man. I like the way he is copying his Dad's way to sit. Happy Birthday !

You are naive to assume that Japan, a mortal realm, is immune to growing feminist pressure.

Happy 9th birthday, your little Highness! :)

Bless you for saying so.

Really cute "father and son" picture ! Happy Birthday !

This is so cool. Father and son, just taking a moment together. who would know who they really are. But it doesn't matter. Just a quality time between pop and son!
