Following a breakfast hosted by the Los Angeles Breakfast Club at the Ambassador Hotel, Prince and Princess Kaya of Japan obligingly pose for a photograph with the club's dappled wooden horse with, with the Prince holding a golden statuette of a saddled horse, a symbol of the esteem of the club membership.
Prince and Princess Kaya undertook a seven-month world tour in 1934, visiting the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. The tour received extensive press coverage at the time.
