Emperor Hirohito had seen 3 dynasty's ruling my country!
The very final days of Qajar dynasty ...
The whole Pahlavi era ...
And first decade of Islamic Republic ...
I wish it was possible to talk to him, in person, but that's not currently possible!!! (It's possible in some sci-fi world's, but not irl).
I'm interested to know what Emperor Hirohito or any other high ranking officials were thinking of my country???

Hirohito's most concern is said the inheritance and handover of the Japanese royal system to the next generation. I think that he could have been interested in this point about the Iranian royal and religious system.

Persian culture and people introduced to Japan in the 8th century.
One of visitors is said worked for the imperial office with Japanese name Hasi Kiyomichi (波斯清通). Hasi meant Persia.

A good chance to review the Royal Treasure Collection of Japan.
Stage masks of a Sogd's king.
Sogd is said one of the Persian tribes in the ancient times.
This king was famous as a heavy drinker though one of ancient tales.

Emperor's private swords were sometimes stolen in the history when he was absent.

It certainly ain't the Sword of Kahless.
That is an amazing display of craftsmanship on the sword in question.

That is most certainly a Katana that's fit for Royalty.

Good point, Dave.
There were many similar decorated swords as 飾太刀(kaza-tachi or kazari-tachi) which were manufactured for the aristocracy but finish was not necessarily so good as the emperor's as they generally suffered from poverty since Samurai took power. Here is an example sword for them though this might have related to the royal family. At least, the Imperial Household Agency is not interested in such a sword as origin is unknown because the agency is said holding as many as 300 historical swords as spare

Ancient design of Japanese sword 毛抜形太刀(kenuki-gata-tachi).
Large openwork of the handle works as shock absorber.
Original idea came from a full metal sword used by native Japanese around the 10th century.

Oh that Tachi is gorgeous!!
The slight angle of the Tsuka is interesting, too.
