Japanese Princess Aiko, the only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, turned 22 on Friday, as she is leading a busy and fulfilling university life.
The princess is currently in her final year at the Faculty of Letters at Gakushuin University in Tokyo. After pandemic-related restrictions were lifted in the country, in-person classes resumed for many courses at her university.
She started to attend classes on campus this spring. Based on literature from Japan's Heian, Kamakura, Edo and Meiji periods, she is working on her graduation thesis. Meanwhile, the princess enjoyed the university's school festival in November, according to the Imperial Household Agency.
In addition to Japan's traditional culture, the princess is interested in welfare activities. In October, she and her parents visited the headquarters of the Japanese Red Cross Society to see a special exhibition on relief activities following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.
She also looked around the permanent exhibition there and seemed to be impressed by the involvement of Empress Dowager Shoken, the wife of Emperor Meiji, in the early years of the organization's activities.

Leaving aside the roses. What other flower do you think suits Athy?
Other than roses, and also putting aside Athanasias because that answer would be too obvious...
Tumblr media
I'm really fond of this visual metaphor that connects Athy to chrysanthemums. The scene is evocative of death, which points to the japanese meaning of the flower, precisely as a link to death. White chrysanthemums also symbolize death and are associated with funerals and grief in western Europe. Since Athy's character is so inseparably intertwined with death and reincarnation, I think this fits her really well. But also, pink chrysanthemums represent the imperial family in Japan, which is a fun coincidence, and white ones also relate to innocence, purity, honesty, and loyalty.
Tumblr media
For similar reasons, I think white calla lilies suit her quite well, as they symbolize rebirth and resurrection, as well as purity and magnificent beauty. They are often used in both weddings and funerals, which is a dichotomy I like a lot.
Tumblr media
Lastly, I really like camellias as Athy's flowers. In China they represent unyielding love, and what's Athy's character if not just that? But what I really love about them is that they bloom in winter, and because of that they are seen as symbols of bravery and strength against all odds. Sounds pretty familiar. As a fun fact, unlike most flowers that lose their petals one by one when they wither, camellias' petals fall quickly and all at once, so they are linked to a quick death... Athy's birthday is in winter, and both of her deaths occurred in that season.
