Centred on a private island in Tokyo divided from the rest of the city by moat, sits the Imperial Palace, official home to the Japanese royal family. A once secretive monarchy, this shield has begun slowly eroding as Akihito, former Emperor of Japan and his son and current Emperor of Japan, Naruhito, both defied royal convention by marrying commoners. With Naruhito’s Harvard graduate wife Owada Masako being dubbed as the Japanese Princess Diana, do these marriages signify changing times for the Imperial Family?
