Hat From the Past
59 years to November 1961 and a duck netting trip outside Tokyo that saw Princess Alexandra in a fur pillbox, Empress Nagako in a blue cuffed hat and then Crown Prince Akihito in a brown fedora, all out for Empress Michiko, who was crown princess at the time, seems to have sported a brown capulet style hat with side bow.
