Group photograph showing Crown Prince Hirohito, later Emperor Shōwa (1901-1989), walking in uniform on the left, next to his mother, Empress Teimei (1884-1951), who appears to be chatting to Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII (1894-1972). On his right is said to be Prince Higashifushimi Yorihito (1867-1922). The man walking behind is probably the translator. This was taken during the Prince of Wales's official visit to Japan in the Spring of 1922, following his successful royal tour of India in 1921-22.
