Prince Hisahito to Attend University of Tsukuba

 



Prince Hisahito, nephew of Emperor Naruhito and second in line to the throne will attend University of Tsukuba starting in April, according to the Household Agency. He passed the university’s admission requirements and intends to study biology.


He has been interested in nature and insect research since he was very young. He began studying dragonflies as an elementary school student and published a paper with researchers in 2023 titled, “Odonata Fauna of Asaka Imperial Gardens, Tokyo: Diversity Sustained by Continuous Maintenance.”  


I remember reading about his first day of school, and now he is about to start college!

He is just as cute now as when he started elementary school.

Publishing papers when he hasn't even started university yet, that's quite impressive!

There is always too much talk about Hisahito going on to higher education.
I think it's probably because he went to different school than previous members of the imperial family. And it may also be due to his position. I want him to leam freely and interact with his friends while he is a student.
