This tiara goes by several names, but it has been the star of two Crown Princely weddings in Japan.
The first to wear it was Michiko Shōda when she married Crown Prince Akihito on 10 April 1959. She wore a matching necklace with the tiara.
Several decades later, their soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Masako Owada, wore the tiara for her wedding to Crown Prince Naruhito in 1993. She also wore the matching necklace.
Since Crown Prince Naruhito’s accession, the tiara is now worn by the new Crown Princess of Japan, Kiko.
