Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba and his wife attended the Autumn Imperial Garden Party hosted by the Emperor and the Empress of Japan, which held at the Akasaka-Gyoen (Moto-Akasaka, Tokyo) on November 6th Thursday.
This is the second time to receive the invitation for the Imperial Garden Party. This time was by the recommendation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. Doshu was also invited ten years ago by the recommendation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
The Imperial Couple, Crown Prince and Imperial family walked around the garden party field approaching the attendees under a shower light rain, unfortunately. Doshu was told that “Aikido is prosperous” by the Empress. In addition, he was also bestowed some words from their Imperial Highness Prince and Princess Akishino, the Imperial Highness Princess Akiko Mikasa and Princess Takamado.
