Princess Aiko, the eight-year-old granddaughter of the Japanese Emperor, has become unable to go to school after suffering a series of anxiety attacks and stomach aches.

Her problems, said the Imperial Household Agency, arose from her “rough behaviour” at the hands of boys in her age group at the ultra-exclusive Gakushuin school she attends in central Tokyo.

Can’t she just have the troublemakers beheaded? She is the Emporer’s daughter after all!

At least she’s not worried about her daddy losing his job.

I don't know if it is still the custom, but my Aunt and Uncle were stationed in Japan during the Occupation in 1945-48. They had 3 children with them -- 2 girls and a boy. The children were cared for by Japanese nursemaids and the little boy was spoiled rotten by them because of the Japanese preference for boys. My aunt had a terrible time with him when they got back to the States -- getting him calmed down and not running wild.

Princess Aiko is a darling little girl. It looks like she has a Shiba Inu (spelling) dog on her leash. Another of my uncles was building ships in Richmond CA during WW II. A ship docked carrying captured prisoners and a litter of puppies from their ship. My uncle brought home a little dog for his daughters that looked very much like Princess Aiko's dog. As far as he was concerned, it looked like a mutt, but other people identified it as a Japanese breed -- a Shiba. That dog lived until she was almost 20.

Looks like she is wearing a little sailor suit for the U.S. Navy.

Maybe she cries when she hears them play “Anchors Aweigh.”

How horribly sad. It can be terribly damaging for a child to be picked on, and it breaks my heart to see it. Growing up in the inner city, I learned at an early age to go after bullies tooth and nail — and I still do today. They are despicable.

“maybe she has inherited the predisposition to emotional illness of her mother”

Sounds like it to me.

Well, if Judy was really a Shiba — or a Shiba mix — she was a wonderful little dog, curly tail and all. She played endlessly with the 4 kids in that family, and all the cousins too, until she was very old.

Judy looked just like the dog in the picture. Of course, in the 1940s in CA we had never seen anything like her and thought she was just a mutt. It was after the war that a Japanese acquaintance of my Uncle identified her as a “special Japanese breed”.
