  1. Empress Michiko

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Mic...

    The Royal Family of Japan do have a large collection, but nothing compared to the English Royal Family, no.


  2. Empress Nagako was the wife of Emperor Hirohito and she died some years ago.The current Empress is Michiko.As to the jewelry.I don't know but,I have read somewhere that it is "extensive".It is an immensely wealthy family.

  3. Empress Nagako is the Empress of Japan and i believe she has more jewels than the british queen partly because the Imperial family of Japan are very wealthy.

  4. From http://www.geocites.com/jitaliaferro.geo... :

    "Her Imperial Majesty MICHIKO, Empress of Japan, (Michiko Kogo), Order of the Precious Crown, Order of the Sacred Treasure, is the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Shoda Hidesburo (1904-1999), former president and honorary chairman of Nisshin Flour Milling Co., Ltd., and his wife, the former Soejima Fumiko (1910-1988). The Shoda family is prominent in both industrial and academic circles. Miss Shoda Michiko was born in Tokyo on 20 October 1934. She received her primary education at Futaba Elementary School, but was obliged to leave school due to the American bombing of Tokyo. She returned to the school following the war and later attended Seishin (Sacred Heart) High School. She entered the Department of Literature of the Sacred Heart Women's University in April 1953.  Miss Shoda, the class valedictorian, received her degree in 1957. She met the then-Crown Prince at a tennis court in Karuizawa in the summer of 1957, after graduating the university. As Miss Shoda Michiko, she was engaged to the Crown Prince in 1958. She became crown princess on the day of her wedding, 10 April 1959, thus becoming the first commoner to marry into the Imperial Family. "

    She has her own jewelry collection,but as to its size, I can't say. The Japanese emperess is very private and doesn't divulge personal information. A good plcae to read up on royalty is http://www.theroyalforums.com
