Royal Hats 
Princess Hisako wore a hat to the Tokyo’s Women’s Club 110th anniversary celebration on June 1st. Looks like the hat with different trim worn in Hiroshima and a Japan Sea Cadet Federation ceremony in Fukuoka last year (?)

Thanks, Avery!
Avery, are you sure Princess Hisako was there? I couldn’t find any photos of her at that event, but Princess Takamado did give a speech, and is pictured on the page of your link.
Princess Hisako IS a Takamado Princess (as are her daughters). The title comes from her late husband, Norihito, who was given the title Prince Takamado (along with authorization to start a new branch of the Imperial Family) when he and Hisako married, December 1, 1984. This is the practice when princes in the Imperial royal family marry.
Along the same lines, the Emperor and Empress’ younger son, Prince Fumihito, was given the title Prince Akishino when he married. Most of the time, he is referred to as Prince Akishino. His wife, Princess Kiko, is sometimes referred to as Princess Akishino, and their daughters are Princess Mako and Princess Kako of Akishino.
Thanks for the explanation, HatQueen! I guess this is no more confusing than the British royalty when princes become Dukes and Earls, I’m just less used to it. I’ll have to pay more attention to the different Imperial princesses when they are shown!
Thanks, HatQueen, that family tree is indeed very helpful and I’ve bookmarked it for future reference!
There are more photos of Princess Hisako of Takamado half way down the page. A small gallery where she’s holding a champagne glass. 2 rows below that, she’s seated in a group photo.
Thanks, Avery! As you’ve probably already seen from my reply to HatQueen above, I did not previously realize that Princess Hisako and Princess Takamodo were the same person. I appreciate the update.
The Imperial Royal family can be very confusing, particularly since they award princes new titles & branches of the family. This family tree with photos on the Imperial Family Of Japan blog is one I’ve found very helpful!
Love the red Marily Van den Berg hat!
That peony percher is fabulous! It seems like just the kind of thing Zara Tindall would love.
So many beauties in the new designs this week! I especially love the slate blue trim on the Tracy Miller and the unique shape of the shell cocktail hat.
