The Wedding of Princess Ka'iulani
November 13, 2009 5:11 PM Subscribe
Has anyone heard of a mural painting called "The Wedding of Princess Ka'iulani" commissioned on his return home by a Japanese businessman who visited Hawaii and was moved by her short life?
While I was writing an essay for Japanese class about Princess Ka'iulani (the last crown princess of the Kingdom of Hawaii), my husband mentioned that he had read a magazine article a few years ago about this painting in a Tokyo(?) hotel(?) that was a fantasy version of the wedding she never lived to see.
I figured this would be easy to Google, but for once the all-knowing net has failed me. The only reference I could find was one line in this article:

I tried searching in Japanese, as well, but with no better luck. (Although I'm not fluent, so I could have missed something.)
Does anyone else out there remember reading about this, or know any more details?
