The future Princess Hitachi, Hanako Tsugaru, received this tiara when she married Masahito, Prince Hitachi, in 1964.

Masahito, Prince Hitachi, is the younger son of Emperor Hirohito, and he is currently third and last in the line of succession.

The new tiara was called the Mikimoto Pearl and Diamond tiara, and it is composed of a pearl sunburst in the middle of diamond waves.

Hanako continued to wear the tiara after her wedding alongside her Pearl and Diamond Fringe Tiara. Most notably, she wore it for the enthronement banquet for Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko in 1990.

However, as Prince and Princess Hitachi have now largely retired from public life, the tiara has too.
