JAPAN PUTTING FINISHING TOUGH
ON FESTIVE ATTIRE FOR PRINCE
OF WALES RECEPTION TOMORROW
Toklo April 12 — (Associated
Press) — Tokio with its cnerry trees
in full bloom was applying the fin-
ishing touches to its festive attire to-
day preparing to welcome Edward
Prince of Wales who Is due tomor-
row for a week’s visit to the capitol
and a tour of Japan until May 9 as
guest of the Japanese nation
When the battleship Renown
steams into Yokohama with its royal
passenger one of the most eager of
the throng of welcomers will be
Prince Hirochito Regent of Japan
whose long visit to London last year
brought about the exchange of cour-
tesies culminating in Prince Edward’s
visit to the Orient
A Sevem-Day Visit
The seven days the British ral
visitor will spend in Tokio will be ab-
sorbed largely by court and official
visits as well as by numerous state
banquets There will be short peri
ods however in which the Prince
may see the interesting sights of the
city The program has been planned
in such a way that it will allow the
visitor to see as much as possible of
the ancient customs and of Old Japan
With this in view a visit has been
arranged to the Meiji shrine where
the prince will see the people’s loyal-
ty and reverence for the greatest
Japanese of modern times At a spe-
cial performance to be given in one
of the leading theatres he will see
gorgeous spectacle of Old Japan
while in the royal gardens be will be
introduced to that curious blend of
art and nature — landscape In minia-
ture British Subjects Not Overlooked
British subjects living in the Orient
who desire to meet their future rul-
er have not been overlooked He
will be “at home” for cne entire aft-
ernoon in the British Embassy where
all Britons will be weicomc It also
is planned to have him attend special
Easter services in the English church
His week in Tokio ended the prince
will start for Nikko the famous lm-
periaj mountain resort and Mecca of
the devout the whole year round
Next will be a visit to Hakone one of
the most beautiful spots in Japan
From there he will journey to Kyoto
perhaps the only city in the Empire
that still retains most of its old world
atmosphere
Tour Ends At Kobo
Nara ancient capital of the coun-
try will be the next stopping place
followed by a visit to Osaka center
of the manufacturing industry This
section of the royal tour will end at
Kobe 20 miles from Osaka where
the prince will embark on a specially
equipped steamer for a trip through
the picturesque Inland Sea
After a short visit to Takamatsu
sacred island of Mavajima and the na-
val college' at Etajima the prince will
sail on the Renown for Kagoshima
southermost city of the empire fa-
mous for the beauty of its surround-
ings and as the birthplace of many of
the country’s most noted soldiers and
seamen
’'Cherry Blossom Time”
The Prince cf Y’clcs ic visiting Ja-
pan in cherry blossom time the most
delightful season of this “Land of
Sunrise” Some of the ceremonies
which will attend his tour will be
made more attractive by the festivi-
ties in which Japanese indulge during
this time when all Japan puts on its
loveliest appearance
As soon as the cherry buds begin
to open the whole country including
even the city streets is transformed
into a fairy land enticing all its peo-
ple into the open or for the national
fete of flower visits
In this season the holiday spirit Is
abroad and all who can give them
selves up to gaity The people gath-
er at all the well-known resorts dress-
ed in their 'best or in fantastic cos-
tumes that match ther feelings and
keep festival all day under the pink-
white blossoms
The general influence of the sea-
son warms everyone into joviality
and their buoyant spirit finds ex-
pression in joyous festivals These
occasions of popular rejoicing which
follow one another through the spring
are excellent opportunities for the
British Prince to see the Japanese at
play
The Imperial Garden of cherry par
ty is one of the most interesting of
these spring festivals and one of the
two outstanding social functions of
the year in Japan Government offi-
cials prominent business men mer-
chants social workers and disting
uished foreign visitors are guests of
the Emperor and Empress on this oc-
casion and it is expected that the
Prince of Wales will attend the func-
tion this year
The party is held when the cherry
blossom is at its best in the Imperial
garden at Shinjiku a suburb of To-
kio where the spacious lawns decked
out with buds of spring flowers and
blossoming trees and shrubs provide
ample accommodation for a big as-
semblage A welcome innovation of recent
years has been the removal of all re-
strictions on women’s dress Hereto-
fore a regulation that women could
appear only in European costume or
in ancient court dress prevented many
from accepting the imperial invitation
