Thousands of people in Japan have come to this web page to look at this photo of the statue of Japan's Crown Princess and her baby daughter Princess Aiko. Some have commented in blogs about the original title of the photo. There was a lot of confusion, which had nothing to do with the Royal Family, so I have renamed the photo "JapanesePrincessBaby".
The original title came from the title of the web page, www.CunninghamPhotos.com/Korean.html , and the images of a princess and a baby. That's it. There was NO hidden meaning in the orignal title.
Kyle Kopitke wrote, "This statue symbolizes gratitude to the Japanese Nurses who took care of our wounded soldiers in Japanese Hospitals."

Kopitke opened the museum in 2004 and closed it the same year. It was one in a string of war museums in several states to open and close in a matter of months. In each case, Kopitke received donations of memorabilia, money, property, art, and volunteer time.
