The Emperor and his wife saw a special exhibition on the 11th, which was a collection of 19th-century birds illustrated by the eldest daughter Kiyoko Kuroda.

This special exhibition, held in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, is an introduction to the 19-th century British naturalist, John Gould's “Birds Charts”. It is.

Mr. Kiyoko Kuroda, who has been researching birds and Gould's picture books, has been planning for two years, so the Emperor and Mrs. Kuroda saw the exhibition for about 30 minutes while receiving explanations from Mr. Kuroda.

When Kuroda explained that Gould was particularly particular about expressing the hummingbird's luster, the Emperor and his wife looked into the picture book as if they looked into it.

The emperor was asked, “Are you sketching at the scene?”, And the emperor was asked, “How do you get the color?”

This special exhibition will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater until the 13th, but it was canceled on the 12th due to the approach of the typhoon.
