Nowadays, the royal families of all countries are more tolerant of civilians, and many kings have married civilian princesses. But in fact, in the early years, the distance between the royal family and the people was actually very far away. Many royal families actually look down on civilians, and many queens from the older generation of royal families can't accept that their daughter-in-law is just a civilian, which makes them even more embarrassed. Such pictures are very common in the Japanese royal family.
Before Michiko, Japanese Empress Dowager Yoshiko was born into a noble family. She enjoyed aristocratic upbringing since she was a child, and became the most distinguished woman in Japan after marrying into the Japanese royal family and becoming a queen. Yoshiko in a silk dress looks elegant and generous, wearing a diamond necklace around her neck and a diamond crown on her head, which is extremely noble. Although she was a little plump in her later years and looked warm and approachable, she was actually a snob.
After Michiko married into the royal family, she looked down upon each other extremely, because Michiko was born in a commoner. In those days, Yoshiko couldn't hold back. Later, because of long-term oppression, Michiko, who was originally lively and intelligent, suffered from aphasia. But the reputation of a good son and a bad mother-in-law also scared no one into the Japanese royal family. Michiko even dared not say anything for many years until Yoshiko died.
In addition to suppressing Michiko in behavior, Yoshiko often makes some surprising moves in dressing style. During the Yoshiko period, the Japanese royal family had many crowns. The crowns with different shapes look elegant or flamboyant. Wearing them on Yoshiko's head brought her a lot of glory and luster. Yoshiko in a white sleeveless dress is plump and even slightly obese.
But the big diamond crown on her head makes her look extremely noble and elegant, and she also wears a diamond necklace around her neck. Every move reveals her nobility as a royal queen. But later, when she passed it on to her daughter-in-law, in order to weaken her face, she directly took off the most noble diamond in this crown. You know, at that time, the diamonds in this crown could be ranked as 13 in the world.
But because of this, Yoshiko is unwilling to pass on this temperament to Michiko, a woman of civilian origin, which makes Michiko's appearance and temperament less noble. However, this move of Yoshiko is similar to that of sirikit, and both are unwilling to pass the jewelry box to their daughter-in-law. Michiko in embroidered lapel dress looks elegant and refreshing, but the crown on her head is not as noble as Yoshiko's belt because of the lack of diamonds in the middle.
In fact, in those days, Yoshiko was unwilling to pass things like crown jewels to Michiko, and even Michiko's own clothes were restricted by him. When she just married into the royal family, Michiko once wore a beautiful fur coat with a kimono decorated with pink flowers, which looked noble and amazing.
But later, Yoshiko strictly forbade her to wear such clothes. Japanese royal crowns with different styles have become more and more unified and simple under the deliberate modification of Yoshiko. As a result, today's Queen Masako and the royal princesses can only match the same style of crowns, which look like wholesale stalls, with no new ideas and features. The only crown that can be handed down and has more characteristics is the chrysanthemum crown that escaped because it can't be disassembled.
