Tokyo, Japan
January, 1924......
A 97 year old
issued photo postcard that
has a view of :
The Crown Prince Hirohito and his new bride
leaving the
Imperial Detached Palace
in an automobile:
In January of 1924, Prince Hirohito (later Emperor Shōwa) married Princess Nobuko Kuninomiya and the palace became their new residence, thus acquiring the new name, the Crown Prince’s Provisional Palace.....The Kasumigaseki (detached) Palace they were meant to begin their life as newly-weds was extensively damaged during the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred in September of 1923, forcing them to live at the earthquake-proof Akasaka Palace until 1928.
The photo image is a  commemoration of the wedding. The name of the palace reverted to its former name, Akasaka Palace, after Emperor Shōwa relocated to the present-day Imperial Palace (known as Kyūjō at the time)....*Note the Imperial Calvalry troops behind the automobile carry the Crwon Pince and his wife.
The card is in
very fine condition, not posted
