First Birthday for Prince Hisahito

Yesterday, Prince Hisahito of Japan celebrated his first birthday. The Imperial Household released photos of Hisahito interacting with his family, Prince Akishino, Princess Kiko, Princess Mako and Princess Kako. The adorable toddler displayed a winsome smile while posing for the cameras.

Since his birth, the Japanese Diet has decided not to change the law of agnatic succession which does not allow Princess Aiko to succeed her father. Little Hisahito is the next heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne after his uncle, Crown Prince Naruhito.
