H.R.H. Grand Duke Henri met with Princess Akiko at the Museum Dräi Eechelen on the same day.
At the museum, which is situated in a restored 18th century fort in Luxembourg city and houses a permanent exhibition on city‘s fortress history,
Their Highnesses were then presented a “Senninbari”, a Japanese decorated cloth given to soldiers by their families as a protective charm.

Holder of a PhD in Japanese Art History from Oxford University‘s Merton College, H.I.H. Princess Akiko held a public lecture entitled „The Art of Copying – Creating Reproductions for the West“ at the museum.

The encounters illustrate the strong ties between the Grand Ducal Family and the Japanese Imperial Family.
