Prior to becoming Crown Prince of Japan in 1989, following the
death of his grandfather Emperor Showa, Prince Naruhito studied at
Merton College, Oxford, from June 1983 to October 1985. His
research topic was the River Thames as a commercial highway in the
eighteenth century. This marked the first time that anyone in
direct succession to the throne had ever studied outside Japan. In
1992, he published a record of his time at Oxford under the title
Thames no tomo ni . The memoir, which includes a colour plate
section incorporating photographs taken by the Prince, explores his
daily life, studies and recreational experiences, including
discovering beer and being banned from entering a disco because he
was wearing jeans. The Thames and I is a remarkable record, not
least because of its candour, but equally because it reveals the
Crown Prince as an individual, including his personal charm and
sense of humour. It will be of special interest to those wishing to
know more about the future emperor of Japan.
