“#A wedding fit for a commoner<\/strong>”

When Princess Mako, niece of Emperor Naruhito, married her university sweetheart, she swept aside family traditions, wearing a simple blue dress instead of a white gown at a press conference with her new husband, Kei Komuro. \u201cI love Mako,” he said. “I would like to spend my one life with the person I love.”\u00a0<\/span>The couple endured a fraught four-year engagement, marked by intense, critical media<\/a> scrutiny, disapp<\/a>roval by the public, Mako\u2019s father and the Imperial Household Agency, which maintains tight control over the family. Japan\u2019s imperial family is venerated by much of the public as the embodiment of the nation\u2019s traditions, so any perceived impropriety by Princess Mako or her new husband is seen by some as a negative reflection on the country itself. \u201cThere was truly unilateral speculation. I felt fear about such spread, and I felt saddened as well,\u201d she said at the press conference, in reference to the misinformation spread about the couple and their relationship.\u00a0<\/span>Almost from the start, Komuro was deemed unsuitable to be her groom as everything from reports of a $36,000 debt owed by Komuro\u2019s mother to his pandemic ponytail (later chopped) were analyzed and dissected. Komuro finally went abroad in 2018, a year into their engagement, earning <\/span>a law degree<\/span> in the United States, where he now practices. Such was the furor that Mako, who worked at a Tokyo university, now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.\u00a0<\/span>In the end, the couple decided to carve their own path, eschewing even a dowry for Mako, who, like other royal women, loses her title and royal status upon her marriage. Yet family tensions remain. As Mako left the family palace, only her younger sister, Kako gave her a farewell hug. Now Mako is reportedly going to join her husband in New York, where <\/span>he is clerking<\/span> for a prestigious law firm, for a fresh start.<\/span><\/p>\n
