[/quote] Here ya go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Regalia_of_Japan Probably nobody outside the imperial family ever sees these artifacts. [/quote] From the comments Photos certainly must exist! > Since 690, the presentation of these items to the Emperor by the priests at the shrine are a central part of the imperial enthronement ceremony. This ceremony is not public, and these items are by tradition only seen by the emperor and certain priests. Because of this, no known photographs or drawings exist. < I would bet pretty penny that the US occupational troops in 1945-47 did demand visual verification and took photos of the regalia when they worked towards pacification of Japan and imposition of the new constitution, which seriously curbed the imperial family and powers. Obviously the USA had to make sure they were not cheated and the treasures were still there and not smuggled abroad for a claimant to incite rebellion later on, etc. Any photos made by a US serviceman in line of duty would be in the public domain. 82.131.210.163 (talk) 17:45, 2 December 2009 (UTC) America wanted to make peace with Japan, not to desecrate their most important national tresure. They even permitted the Emperor to keep his throne to facilitate the process of peace. Japan had surely lost the war, but most Japs were eager to immolate themselves for the glory of their Emperor, so it wouldn't be a smart diplomatic decision to send Mr.John Serviceman to make photos of forbidden holy Emperor-only artifacts in the immediate aftermath of the war. But, yeah, they still could have send Superman... --151.51.60.165 (talk) 11:55, 9 May 2010 (UTC) [/quote]
