Princess Nori, the only daughter of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, visited Tamagawa University in western Tokyo on Saturday to view an exhibit commemorating the upcoming release of her book on the research of 19th century British ornithologist John Gould.
The book is to be published by the university in late November. The princess worked at the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology in Abiko, Chiba Prefecture, after graduating from university in 1992 until last June. She was involved in research on kingfishers.
She is to wed Tokyo Metropolitan Government bureaucrat Yoshiki Kuroda next month.
