In this December 1, 1950, photo, then Crown Prince Akihito, second from right, shakes hands with his tutor Elizabeth Vining as Vining bids a farewell to him in Yokohama. During the U.S. occupation of Japan after the end of the World War II, he was tutored in English by Elizabeth Vining, a Quaker, an experience that experts say gave Akihito his pacifist and democratic outlook. At right is his brother Prince Yoshinomiya. (Photo by Kyodo News via AP Photo)
