Yesterday (September 3) morning, a "cutting" ceremony to agree to the marriage was held at the Imperial Palace Imperial House where the Emperor lives. After
, Akishinomiya and Mako went to the Imperial House to visit the Emperor and his wife.
Mako introduced the Komuro to the Emperor and his wife for the first time.
It is said that they received a lot of heartwarming blessings from the Emperor and his wife, but they "wanted to stay in their hearts", so they did not disclose the content.
At 3 pm, the 25-year-old Japanese royal princess, Prince Akishinomiya Makonai ( Emperor Akihito 's first granddaughter and eldest daughter of the emperor's second son, Prince Fumihito) and his classmate at the International Christian University, Kei Komuro held a press conference at Akasaka Higashi residence in Moto Akasaka, Tokyo, to officially announce the good news of their marriage. The marriage ceremony is expected to be held as early as next fall. During the
12-minute press conference, the two smiled and exchanged their eyes many times, which shows the tacit understanding of getting along with each other for many years.
September 4 reported that the two people with happy smiles on their faces emphasized that when they met five years ago, they agreed to date with marriage as the prerequisite.
Princess Mako revealed that at first, he was attracted by Komuro's cheerful smile like the sun. After getting familiar with his personality, he found that he was a very serious person, with his own ideas and principles, and was very generous in dealing with people.
cabin also said, "I want to build a family that can always be natural and harmonious."
Speaking of the acquaintance of the two, it will start five years ago.
At a university study abroad exchange meeting held in an izakaya in Shibuya, Mako met Komuro. At that time, the two of them were sitting next to each other, which should be called fate.
There were 50 students participating at that time. The two fell in love at first sight and had been in love for five years.
It is said that during college, there were always boys around trying to approach Mako, wanting to invite her to dinner and pursuing her, but she politely refused.
She has a love relationship with Komuro and has done a good job of keeping confidentiality. By the time she graduated, her classmates thought she didn't have a boyfriend.
In December 2013, Komuro proposed to Mako while they were walking on the street.
It is said that Mako has been very popular since she was a child. After she was a child wearing a sailor suit and she logged out on TV, Mako became a popular online, and some people specially made animation illustrations for her.
Although he is a princess, Mako's usual style is very civilian.
For example, if you go abroad in economy class, you will go abroad when you date your boyfriend, just like an ordinary couple, and take the tram to the street and eat delicious food.
They will choose to travel in some tourist attractions in Yokohama , Saitama Prefecture , or in the resting place of the imperial family - Kanagawa Prefecture Hayama and other places.
Although Mako looks dignified and elegant, she is quite independent.
She broke the rule that members of the royal family only went to the university and chose the international Christian university with a strong foreign style.
It is worth mentioning that her love should be the first true free love of a woman in Japanese royal .
In addition, Mako is also a very action-oriented and kind woman.
When a major earthquake occurred in Japan in 2011, Mako, a second-year college student, watched the current situation of the disaster area on TV, and with the idea of "What can I do for the disaster area?", she concealed her identity and came to the disaster area as an ordinary college student volunteer to help the children in the disaster area and contribute her own efforts.
Japan Broadcasting Association reported that Komuro Kei was also selected by the local tourism association as the "Prince of the Sea of Enoshima" by the local tourism association in 2010, Kanagawa Prefecture.
He looks handsome and works hard. After graduating from university, he worked at Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank. He is currently working at Tokyo Okuno Comprehensive Law Firm. He also studied in the International Corporate Strategy Research Department of Ichibashi University College as a social person.
It is worth mentioning that his English TOEIC score is 950 points (out of 990 points), no wonder the princess is so moved.
Next year, Mako will leave the royal family after she gets married.
After makoto married a civilian, he will be separated from the royal family, be given the husband's surname, and be registered as a civilian household registration like his aunt Princess Kiyoko (the three daughters of Emperor Akihito).
However, as a former member of the royal family, you need to maintain the taste of the royal family.
For this reason, the government will pay a high subsidy to the princess who left the royal family, which is equivalent to a dowry.
The emperor's daughter Kiyoko's bride gift when she got married was 150 million yen, and Kiyoko used this money to buy a high-end apartment of about 100 million yen.
According to the provisions of the Royal Economic Law, the emperor's granddaughter Mako should have a 10% less yen than Kiyoko, or 137.25 million yen.
Before the war, the Japanese royal family engaged in marriages needed to check the thoughts, medical records and whether they had criminal experiences of the three generations of relatives before marriage.
Crown Princess Masako When we got married, Inner Palace HTML made a detailed information about Masako's relatives.
The Japanese royal family has very strict requirements on choosing a royal concubine and must conduct in-depth investigations in advance.
and marrying a princess does not strictly regulate the man's background.
So far, although royal princesses have married civilians, they are generally "famous masters".
For example, in 2014, Prince Kenhito Takazo Miyagi's second daughter, Noriko , married Miyaji from Izumo Dashi, Shimane Prefecture.
In the past, other royal women married to the president of the Japanese Red Cross, famous tea ceremony masters, etc.
Although Kiyoko's husband is of average origin, he is also a civil servant in the Tokyo Metropolitan Department. It is reasonable to have a stable source of income.

But relatively speaking, Komuro's background is too ordinary.
For the two people with huge gap in status and status, their engagement did not go so smoothly.
The Japanese royal family and the Imperial Palace will inevitably have some concerns, and the first thing that is to bear is Kei Komuro's family background and financial ability issues.
He grew up in a single-parent family. His father and grandfather died of suicide more than ten years ago.
My mother works as a temporary worker in a dim sum shop. Her family’s financial conditions are not very affordable, and Xiaomu has been working during her college years.
Now, while going to college and working in a law firm, the annual salary is at most two or three million yen.
Even if there is more than 100 million yen brought by Mako, after buying the house, there is only a lot left.
Netizens seem to be harsh and not optimistic about this marriage.
is talking about it online, and some people say, "Why are you in a hurry to get married? The man is still a college student. At least after graduation, you have a stable job and get married?" Some people directly call the man a "phoenix man" in order to fly to the branch, etc.
In May this year, after the marriage contract between Komuro and the princess was announced, a temporary security room was added next to an ordinary apartment in Yokohama, with police guards 24 hours a day. Komuro's mother was guarding her at work or shopping, and she was guarded by police cars.
Since Kei Komuro grew up in a single-parent family, she respects and is filial to her mother. Therefore, even if she buys a new house after marriage, they are very likely to live with her mother, so Mako still faces the problem of getting along with her mother.

There are also media reports that although Komuro has met the emperor and obtained permission to get married, he has not met the crown prince yet. The crown prince has a barrier with Akishinomiya, and I don’t know whether this matter is true or false.
It is said that after Mako gets married, there will be one number of members of the Japanese royal family, with a total of 18.
The princess will become a civilian after getting married. If she divorces in the future, she will not be able to return to the royal family.
Although Japanese media are worried that Princess Mako will be very hard after marrying Kei Komuro, if they can work together until they grow old, it will be nothing to work hard.
Besides, Mako is also an independent woman. She is able to escape from the imperial family and give up her noble identity and marry the one she loves, which is a kind of commendable courage.
wishes this young couple happiness and hopes that Princess Mako will marry love.
So, how do you view this marriage?
