Princess Mako of Japan visited the graves of her great-grandparents, Emperor Showa and Empress Kojun, at the Musashino Imperial Mausoleum in Tokyo and offered prayers ahead of her wedding with her fiancé Kei Komuro which is expected to take place later this month. Princess Mako will skip the traditional wedding rites, which is the first time a female member of the royal family has done so in postwar Japan. Under the current imperial rules, women lose their imperial status if they marry a commoner.
Kei Komuro came to Japan last month from the United States and completed a two-week coronavirus quarantine period. Now, he and the Princess are expected to start preparing for the marriage registration. The wedding of Princess Mako and Kei Komuro is now set to take place on October 26, 2021.
What a rigidity, old-fashioned rules (even if modern habits are not perfect) ... I wish her the best.
ردحذفAgreed, wishing her a happy marriage. The styling of the garment and accessories remind me of a hundred years ago. It is a beautiful look though.

Good for her. Time for some change.
ردحذفThis is very old-school, of course. But I don´t see it as a fashion choice but as a ceremonial act in line with tradition and a way of paying respect to her ancestors. I for one like seeing formal outfits like that being used for this kind of occasion.
ردحذفThe tailoring is exquisite, the fit perfect. S.M.
ردحذفYes, the tailoring is "super" exquisite. It can't be better than that.
حذفLooking forward to photos of the wedding.
I wish her and her fiancee all the best!
ردحذفI am very happy for her. It is a shame that the Imperial Family won't budge on their rules. There isn't much of a family left as the women are forced to leave once they marry a commoner, effectively taking their male offspring out of the line of succession. It is a terribly backward way of thinking. Something tells me she isn't going to miss the formal attire she has worn these past years. While impeccably tailored, a young, modern woman likes to express herself. Her life as a princess looks like it has been very stifling. ~d
ردحذفI cannot fathom Mako's feelings right now--it must be incredibly painful for her while at the same time she's young and in love and wants to marry her fiance. It is very sad that the Japanese royals or government or whomever is responsible for maintaining the obsolete rules of previous centuries. The loss to the Imperial House is huge--all these well educated, talented, bright young women leaving the family simply because they marry commoners is awful for the young women leaving and the family they leave behind. At some point the only male left to support the family will be Mako's younger brother as there are no other males. These photos show a dedicated young woman who could be such an asset. I wish Mako and Kei all the best for their future!
ردحذفI wish Princess Mako and her future husband, the best on her new journey and i have the utmost respect for her for not desecrating the honor of her ancient holy Throne and for following protocol.
ردحذفQuelle coupe parfaite ; c'est avec impatience que j'attends les photos du mariage -s'il y en a- afin de voir sa robe qui sera à son propre goût !
ردحذفThe astrologer in me says,get your conception charts,8 pre-natal charts,your birth charts and solar arc , Reinhold,Elspeth Ebertin mid-points etc scrambled up etc...
ردحذفThis is from another world..
Why does she need this mariage? After all, she could have remained friends with her fiance and lived with him or visited with him from time to time. After all that is naturall now. And now she will be away from her family and they will never want her again. But that's what happening.
