Yes, I remember seing the pictures of the lovely Pss Mako wearing her parure for the first time. It was comented here on how the tiara resembled a bit the Lover's Knot tiara of Britain . She looked really lovely and proud on her coming of age. This is a wonderful japanese tradition and I can't wait to see Pss Kako in her Mikimoto parure .
