Out to visit the Meiji Shrine & then to witness an exhibition in which riders in ancient costume ride all out shooting arrows at bulls eye targets—and hitting them. We were with the Crown Prince & his wife. Nice people. We’ve invited them to the U.S. We then went to the P.M. residence for meetings & a luncheon. Midafternoon got back to Akasaka for a nap then up & into White tie & tails. I met with a group of Japanese who have raised $1 mil. for the R.R. scholarship fund at Eureka. Then stopped by an org. of Japanese & Am. businessmen. Then to Emperors Palace for State Dinner. My dinner partner was the Crown Princess. She was most interesting & we had a fine discussion—through an interpreter.
