Michelle Obama towers over Japanese emperor



Michelle Obama has had an awkward start to her visit to Japan as she was pictured towering over Emperor Akihito and stumbling as she tried to bow, shake his hand and curtsey at once.
Mrs Obama, who is 5ft 9in tall, also caused embarrassment earlier in the day when she grabbed, Akie Abe, wife of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in a hug-and-handshake combination while the Japanese First Lady was trying to bow.
