Description

Magnificent formal presentation portraits of Hirohito and Nagako, displayed in leather frames boasting the Imperial Seal of Japan

Majestic pairing of official matte-finish 6 x 8.5 formal portraits of Emperor Hirohito and his wife Princess Nagako Kuni, depicting the heads of Japanese state in handsome three-quarter-length poses, both beautifully signed in bold black ink in Japanese. Beautifully presented in their original 8 x 10.5 leather frames with the Imperial Seal of Japan (golden chrysanthemum) at the top. In overall very fine condition, with a bit of tarnishing to the golden chrysanthemums. Few Hirohito portraits are made available to the collecting public, particularly in photos of this superior quality.
