Today, Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko are visiting Hawai’i on their way back to Japan from business in Canada. Although here a short while, they will attend a banquet celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship here in Honolulu. The scholarship was established in 1959 to honor the marriage of the then Crown Prince Akihito and Crown Princess Michiko, and is awarded to 2 UH graduate students each year. It also provides for 2 graduate students from Japan who come to study at UH. If you’re a UH graduate student doing research on Japan, you should check it out. The visit in Honolulu includes a short public appearance at Kapiolani Park today at 3:30 PM. Come EARLY!
