Descriptions

This album contains photographs taken by Prince Yasuhiko of Asaka on a motor trip from Cap-Martin in the South of France to Paris in 1925. Prince Yasuhiko was known to be particularly fond of photography among the members of the Imperial Family, even owning his own foreign-made camera. He took thousands of photographs during his tours around Europe. These photographs provide insight into his activities and travel overseas, and were carefully stored, pasted into albums, and sometimes annotated by Prince Yasuhiko, the primary photographer, as well as by Princess Nobuko and Viscount Sōma, who accompanied the prince in an official capacity. However, these photos were gradually scattered after the family lost their imperial status after the war, and only a limited number remain today.
