Monarch: Emperor Akihito (Japan) Reign: 7th January 1989 - 30th April 2019 Process of abdication: Passing of the Emperor Abdication Law by the Japanese government Life after abdication: The historic title for abdicated monarchs - Jōkō - was revived for the Emperor. It doesn't translate well and so generally he is referred to as the Emperor Emeritus. He and the Empress moved from the Imperial Palace into a newly renovated home in the grounds of the Akasaka Estate. He continues to receive a state allowance and performs engagements where possible, but his poor health in recent years has limited his duties.

AN UNIQUE LOVE
Tumblr media
Mako Komuro (小室 眞子, Komuro Mako, born 23 October 1991), formerly Princess Mako of Akishino (眞子内親王, Mako Naishinnō), is a former member of the Japanese imperial family. She is the eldest child of Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko, niece of Emperor Naruhito, and granddaughter of Emperor Emeritus Akihito and Empress Emerita Michiko. After marrying outside the imperial family in October 2021, she gave up her title as required by the Imperial Household Law.
Before Marriage:
Before this marriage former princess mako komuro was a researcher at The University Museum, The University of Tokyo.
And the love for which former princess mako komuro had to give up the title of member of imperial household
Mako Komuro was born Princess Mako of Akishino on 23 October 1991 to Fumihito, Prince Akishino, and Kiko, Princess Akishino, at Imperial Household Agency Hospital in Tokyo Imperial Palace, Chiyoda, Tokyo. She has a younger sister, Princess Kako, and a younger brother, Prince Hisahito. Mako was educated at the Gakushūin School in her Primary, Girls' Junior and Senior High School years. She studied English at University College, Dublin (UCD), in July–August 2010.she had an informal talk with the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, and she visited Northern Ireland.
The Princess graduated from the International Christian University in Mitaka, Tokyo, on 26 March 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Art and Cultural Heritage. She obtained Japanese national certification in curation as well as a driver's license while she was an undergraduate student.She later studied art history at the University of Edinburgh for nine months, from September 2012 to May 2013.On 17 September 2014, she left for the United Kingdom where she studied at the University of Leicester for a year,receiving an MA degree in Art Museum and Gallery Studies on 21 January 2016. In September 2016, she enrolled in the doctoral course of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, International Christian University
TITLE AND MARRIAGE
Mako was styled as Her Imperial Highness Princess Mako until her marriage on 26 October 2021, after which she became known as Mrs. Mako Komuro.
In May 2017, it was announced that the Princess was expected to marry Kei Komuro.The two had met while both students at International Christian University (ICU), and he had proposed to her in December 2013.
The wedding was originally expected to take place in November 2018, but it was postponed after media reports of Komuro's mother's financial dispute with her former fiancé over ¥4 million ($36,000). Some of the money had been used to pay Komuro's tuition fees, and the dispute resulted in the public's disapproval of the match. Komuro stated that his mother initially believed the money was a gift and added that he wished to pay it back. Princess Mako blamed the postponement on the couple's immaturity at that time.
On 26 October 2021, Princess Mako officially married Komuro following the submission of their marriage document at the local ward office. Like her paternal aunt, Sayako, Princess Nori, and other princesses who married commoners in recent decades she formally lost her title and became a commoner upon marriage as required by Imperial Household Law. In light of the scandals surrounding her husband's family, she also refused the Japanese government's taxpayer funded payment of ¥140 million (US$1.3 million) given to royal women upon leaving the Imperial Family. She is the first female member of the imperial family to forgo an official wedding ceremony and a gift of money from the government.
While awaiting her passport issuance and US Visa, Mako moved to her own residence in the Shibuya district in Tokyo as she is by law not allowed to live at her parents' house inside the imperial quarters. Kei resolved the financial dispute between his mother and her ex-fiancé in November 2021, paying the ex-fiancé an undisclosed sum of money to resolve the debt.The couple departed for New York in mid-November 2021.
Kei Komuro began studying at Fordham University School of Law in August 2018 and graduated with a Juris Doctor in May 2021. He later joined Lowenstein Sandler, a law firm in New York as a law clerk. He passed New York's bar exam in October 2022 and began working as a lawyer in 2023.
This prove that love is really blind and you don't think about to leave other things if you truly love someone...

Sutokuin/Akihito Main Story Chapter 15
Tumblr media
Chapter 14
Warning! This story contains scenes of emotional abuse, attempted murder, and usage of drugs.
-----Part 1-----
Akihito: “If I am the son of Emperor Shirakawa, then I am an uncle to my father, right?”
Yoshino: “That’s….”
Akihito: “Is it horrible?”
I stared in dismay at the arc of Akihito-sama’s red lips.
Akihito: “One of Hinamoto’s noblest blood had such ugliness from the start.”
(I didn't know if there was any circumstance under which he would curse a fetus that had nothing to do with what happened...)
-----Options-----
I feel sorry for you...
You've done nothing wrong (+4/+4)
You've endured so much
-----------
Yoshino: "Whatever happened...it wasn't Akihito-sama's fault. You did nothing wrong..."
Yoshino: "....There should have been no reason to be ostracised or cursed."
Akihito: "Some things are unimaginable to you, gentle one. The stronger the curse, the more unreasonable it is."
The sarcastic way in which he says this does not convey Akihito-sama's emotions.
Akihito: "I became emeritus at a very young age when my great grandfather was the real emperor..."
Akihito: "When I grew up, and when my father began his Imperial Reign as emperor, all of that was taken away from me."
(What do you mean 'taken away'...?)
---Then Akihito-sama quietly told me about events in the distant past.
----FLASHBACK----
Tumblr media
Akihito: "....Father, what is it that you have for me?"
Toba: ".........."
Akihito's heart ripples with tension and faint anticipation as he is allowed to meet his father, Emperor Toba for the first time in a long time.
But Toba looked at him with contempt.
Toba: "I shall abdicate to my son Narihito(Konoe)."
Akihito: "Ah..."
Toba: "That's all for now."
Akihito: "Please wait! R-Reason....at least give me a reason as to why you're doing this?"
Akihito: "If you have any complaints about my governing, just let me know."
Toba: "You want complaints?"
Toba: "My greatest disgrace is that a man who is not my son has held the Imperial throne."
Toba: "Narihito is three years old now. I've been waiting for this year to abdicate the throne to him."
Akihito: "...Mm"
Tumblr media
Akihito: "....But I offered my whole heart and soul to my father and to this country."
Akihito who is pale, tries his best to keep his words calm and spits them out at Toba.
Toba: "So what? Do you have a shallow grudge against not getting a reward?"
Toba: "If so, I have already asked a talented Onmyoji to place a strong protective art around this room and on myself."
Toba: "Your abominable curse won't do anything to me."
Akihito: "....! No. I would never do such a thing----"
Akihito: "I'll never ever try to curse anyone!"
Toba: "Unfortunately you did. Your existence"
Akihito: "Ah..."
Akihito became speechless at Toba's words.
Toba: "---Back off uncle. This is the last time I will have words with you."
-----FLASHBACK ENDS-----
Akihito: "If he had passed the throne to me, I would have also ruled like my great grandfather and father."
Akihito: "I was not given that authority when my brother was forced to abdicate."
Akihito: "I suppose it was my father's revenge for my birth as well."
-----Part 2-----
Akihito: "I suppose it was my father's revenge for my birth as well."
(I can't believe you have been hated to this extent in your entire life)
Yoshino: "....That's terrible."
Akihito: "You think so?"
Akihito: "In the end, I became an emeritus just in name and at some point, I became a curse to all of Hinamoto."
Akihito: "Just like Yoritomo said."
Akihito: "Maybe it was a mistake to have such a man at the top of this country in the first place, right?"
(Speaking of which....)
-----FLASHBACK-----
Yoritomo: “Sutokuin was born with a curse, and with his wickedness, he plotted the overthrow of the world”
Yoritomo: “When his evil deeds were exposed, he died with a grudge against all the people of Hinomoto, spreading disasters….”
Yoritomo: “Many were taken by the curse that was cast on them on their deathbeds. Is it true? your Majesty.”
Akihito: “What if it is?”
----FLASHBACK ENDS-----
Yoshino: "....Akihito-sama didn't give a clear answer as to whether that story was true or not, did he?"
Akihito-sama smiled softly.
Tumblr media
Akihito: "At the time, the only people in Hinamoto who didn't know about the notoriety of the Sutokuin were babies."
Akihito: "As a great sinner who cursed and killed his brother and father for the Imperial throne and tried to replace them as the rulers of the world."
Yoshino: "Eh...."
(Did you have a grudge against your family? But...)
Akihito: "The truth is, this world is determined by numbers. It would probably be foolish to doubt."
Unable to articulate well the feeling of discomfort that is tugging at my chest.
As if to smear it on, Akihito-sama slowly continues his words.
Akihito: "My story is simple."
Akihito: "Once there was an evil king who was defeated in a power struggle, his regret is still dragged out to this day."
Akihito: "To be hated and feared rather satisfies the desire for vengeance."
Yoshino: "Is that why you said you wanted to be the terror of Hinamoto...?"
Akihito-sama told me that he wanted to be understood by no one.
Akihito: "Yes, you're right. So you're wrong about me being nice."
Yoshino: "Mm..."
Akihito-sama touches my hair and twirls it with his finger.
Akihito: "Does this give you the answer you want?"
(Today, I saw for myself that Akihito-sama is running a friendly government towards his people)
(But knowing about Akihito-sama's past makes me less confident)
Nevertheless, I looked up and straight into his eyes.
Yoshino: "-----I don't know."
Yoshino: "But I still need a bit more material to make a decision."
Akihito: "...."
Akihito: "Yoshino is a stubborn girl."
The long eyelashes are downcast to hide the emotions in Akihito-sama's eyes.
Akihito: "She's weird because she's the only person, who I've ever known to think like that."
Yoshino: "What do you mean?"
(Ah)
He tucked back my hair behind my ear and playfully slides his finger over my earlobe.
Akihito: "That concludes today's questions. I'm looking forward to our next game."
..................
That night----
Akihito: "....zZz...."
Akihito was quietly sleeping in his room.
His well-organized sleeping face suddenly frowns.
Trapped in a deep dream of its consciousness...
Tutor: "Excellent. Your Majesty is very good at this..."
Standing in front of the young Akihito, the man in charge of his education is nervously looking over the text on the scroll.
After some time, the man sighed in relief.
Tutor: "....All answers are correct. I guess there is nothing more to teach you."
Young Akihito: "I do check some books when I don't understand sometimes when I'm unsure."
-----Part 3-----
Young Akihito: "I do checks some books when I don't understand sometimes when I'm unsure."
Young Akihito: "Also, I would never blame you, so I would appreciate an honest assessment."
Tutor: "I feel like I'm not good enough."
Young Akihito: "....I see."
Tutor: "Oh no. I didn't mean any offense. It's not your Majesty it's just me."
Young Akihito: "Don't worry. I'm not offended."
Akihito smiles to dispel the awkward atmosphere.
He then gathered up the books and papers on his desk, stood up, and held them under his arm.
Tumblr media
Young Akihito: ".....If I show this to Father, will he admire me even a little?"
Tutor: "Ah...well..."
Young Akihito: "-----Sorry. I asked something weird again."
Akihito shook his head when his Tutor turned pale while finding an answer to his question.
Akihito: "I'll do my best to become a full-fledged emperor as soon as possible."
...................
Young Akihito: "......"
As Akihito walked down the corridor,
He suddenly hears the voices of the ladies-in-waiting chatting behind the shoji screens.
Lady 1: "Hey. Did you hear that his Majesty's lady-in-waiting ran away again?"
Lady 2: "Why won't she?....Anyone would have done the same, if they were asked to touch him when dressing him up, right?"
Lady 3: "Yes, that's right. I'd be terrified if something like that ever happened to me."
Akihito: ".....!"
Slumping down, Akihito walked past the scene as fast as he could.
....................
Akihito goes out into the garden and cowers by the camellia hedge to hide from anyone's view.
Young Akihito: "Nn..ah..."
Teardrops fell from the innocent eyes.
The stifled crying was not unlike a child's.
Young Akihito: "Nn...No no...I have to..nn...stop crying. I have to...nn..stop my emotions, or else...."
---Despite the desperate efforts, the camellias near Akihito turned black.
Tumblr media
Young Akihito: "Nn...No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Young Akihito: "I'm sorry for cursing you....!"
As if to punish himself, Akihito clenched his fists tightly...
............
Akihito: "....! Haa..."
Akihito jumped up from his sleep and pressed his left wrist.
The bracelet, which was not removed, clinked.
Akihito: "It was just a...dream?"
He grabbed the jug beside his bed and drank some water.
As if he couldn't sleep anytime soon, he looked up at the moon through the round window in his room...
Yasuchika: "....Akihito-sama, are you awake?"
Akihito: "Yasuchika?"
When his name was called out from behind the door, Akihito looked up.
Akihito: "What's wrong? Come in."
The sliding door quietly opens and Yasuchika steps in.
Yasuchika: "I'm sorry for disturbing you. I was debating on whether to see you or not and then I heard your voice."
Akihito: "Are you afraid? If so, I can hold your hand until you sleep."
Yasuchika: "I'm fine. I'm a genius onmyoji and I can destroy any ghosts if they come to my sight."
Akihito: "Aww. Even as a child you've been okay with things like that."
Yasuchika laughed at Akihito, who tilted his head slightly mischievously.
Then he suddenly looked into Akihito's face.....
Yasuchika: "Hey, did something happen?.... you look pale."
Akihito: "I'm fine. It's just this bad dream I had..."
Yasuchika: "Bad dream?"
Akihito: "A dream, when I was a child."
Yasuchika: "........."
Akihito: "Maybe because I told some bits of my past to Yoshino after a long time."
Tumblr media
Yasuchika: "....! Akihito-sama telling someone about his past...is something rare. Even if it's only little."
Akihito: "....I know right."
Akihito, who had been thinking in a daze, mutters to himself.
Akihito: "It feels weird to tell Yoshino, who I am."
------Part 4------
Akihito: "It feels weird to tell Yoshino, who I am."
Akihito: "Even if I successfully steer him away from coming too deep, she still comes."
Yasuchika: "Does that bother you?....or does that make you happy?"
Akihito: "---I feel both."
Akihito: "And so, in some inexplicable impulse, I want her too."
Yasuchika: "....."
Yasuchika's eyes shined in the darkness.
Yasuchika: "I've never seen you like this before? Did Yoshino-san change you?"
Akihito: ".....No."
Akihito: "I didn't change at all, Yasuchika."
Akihito: "It's just, that child is too bright for me."
Akihito: "Maybe because I haven't encountered someone like her when I grew up."
Yasuchika: "But."
Akihito stops Yasuchika who was about to say something.
Akihito: "By the way Yasuchika, what did you come here for?"
Yasuchika: "Oh yeah, I forgot, you see..."
Tightening his face, Yasuchika leaned closer to Akihito and made whispered something....
..................
Yoshino: "Yesterday, I got fooled."
The next day, after my morning tea, I had a thought.
(It was good to win a game against Akihito-sama, but it won't be easy next time)
Ibuki: "You look all fired up."
Yoshino: "Why wouldn't I be, I was----kyaa!"
Yoshino: "When did you come in?"
Ibuki: "It's your fault for being so dim that you didn't notice."
Ibuki sits in front me, cross-legged.
Ibuki: "You're frowning since I came here. What happened?"
Yoshino: "....Ibuki, who is demon won't understand. Humans have a lot of troubles to deal with."
Tumblr media
Ibuki: "What's with the demon discrimination, huh? Yoshino, how can you be sure that I won't understand?"
(When you say it like that...)
Yoshino: "Sorry for assuming like that."
Ibuki: "----It's no fun when you're this honest."
Ibuki: "It's hard to tease you, you know...."
Yoshino: "Don't make fun of me. Anyway, I'm busy.."
Ibuki: "Oh? ...Can I join?"
In front of my weary eyes, Ibuki raised her index finger in a grandiose gesture.
Ibuki: "Let's cooperate again."
Yoshino: "Eh?"
Ibuki: "I know all your worries in your head involve Akihito."
Ibuki: "I'll give you my grateful opinion on how to get to know him."
Yoshino: "....No thanks, last time you left me in a stadium full of monsters."
Ibuki: "But I was watching over. If anything would happen, I would have jumped from the audience to rescue you."
(He did say that...)
I shook my head to regain my composure.
Yoshino: "Either way, I'm not going out there again."
Yoshino: "I don't think Akihito-sama will forgive me for doing it again."
Ibuki: "Be adventurous, Yoshino."
Ibuki: "But don't worry, our next investigation will be inside the mansion."
Yoshino: "Inside the mansion? Sure, I've been told I'm free to go anywhere but where should we go....?"
Ibuki: "Akihito's room of course. Private spaces have the most information."
(No No NO!)
Yoshino: "I can't go to such a place! I'm a hostage"
Ibuki's lips lifted at one end in a mocking manner.
Ibuki: "Did he tell you not to?"
Yoshino: "Isn't it obvious?"
Yoshino: "And as expected, it would be heavily guarded, right?"
Ibuki: "Are you sure about that?"
(Am I wrong?)
Ibuki: "For some reason, he won't let anyone else in today."
Yoshino: "Why?"
Ibuki: "That's exactly why I wanna know. So you should go and find out."
Ibuki: "I'm sure Akihito won't mind if you even blow up his room."
Ibuki: "As long as it's not forbidden, Akihito won't punish you. There's no reason for you to miss this opportunity."
(But)
Ibuki: "Are you going to let that man have his way with you?"
Ibuki: "If you have any other leads, you don't have to...."
------Part 5-----
Ibuki: "If you have any other leads, you don't have to...."
Ibuki whispered seductively and smiled as if he saw through everything.
Ibuki: "From the looks of it, I don't think you have."
.................
(....In the end, I lost again)
Speaking of Ibuki, who brought me to Akihito-sama's room, disappeared again.
(Like he said, it's not guarded)
Rather, the closer you get to Akihito'-sama's room, the lesser the people are walking around.
I am the only one standing in the long corridor.
Yoshino: "Um, Akihito-sama, are you there....?"
I gulped and called out....
Akihito: "Eh? Yoshino?"
(.....! Okay! Let's do this)
Yoshino: "Excuse me!"
I immediately opened the door and entered the room.
Akihito: ".....!"
Tumblr media
Akihito-sama's greeted me with his rare big round eyes.
Akihito: "Why are you....No. Actually, you mustn't be here right now."
Yoshino: "Sorry for barging in out of nowhere. Are you free right now?"
Akihito: "No. I'll send someone to your room, so hurry up and get out of here."
Just as when Akihito-sama grabbed my arm in a hurry---
???: "Found you, Sutokuin....!"
(Eh...)
The first thing I saw was a glaring light.
My head belatedly recognizes that it is a swinging sword.
Akihito: "Stop!"
(Nn)
Akihito-sama suddenly pulls my stiff body towards him.
Man 1: "Ku...!"
Man 2: "...After all, the rumor about him being cursed is true."
The intruders in front of us were likewise under the effects of Kotodama and stiffened their limbs with their swords in their hands.
(What the!? Are they assassins?)
Akihito: "All of you except Yoshino---sleep."
(Kotodama again)
The men's bodies suddenly start to fall, but---
Man 1: "You monster!"
Man 2: "We'll destroy you!"
Akihito: "...!"
(They're unaffected)
I hasten to look at the men's eyes, which are unnaturally wide open.
Yoshino: "Akihito-sama! They're under some kind of drugs."
Akihito: "---I see. Maybe the one who assigned them gave it."
Man 1: "Hah, I can move now, so this is an easy victory."
Man 2: "There's no need to be hasty. They're defenseless anyway."
Akihito: "......"
(What should I do....)
At that time, the air around Akihito-sama became heavier.
Akihito: "----Stop. Till my voice is soaked into your body."
Akihito: "Don't move. Don't think. Don't breathe."
Although I braced myself, it seemed that Akihito-sama had avoided me and applied Kotodama. Only I was unaffected.
(To some extent, this means that Akihito-sama can choose who he wants to use Kotodama on)
Man 1: "Fuck.."
I know he's using the weakest form first and then going to the strongest because I have experienced it.
Akihito-sama leisurely walks up to the slow-moving men.
Akihito: "Feel weak...Fall down."
The two men who had been resisting drop to their knees.
Man 2: "Nn...Ah....AAAAARRRGGGHHH!"
(Look out!)
One of them attacked Akihito-sama, ranting, and raving to blow away the Kotodama.
Akihito: "Hold your breath..and Die----"
(No! I won't let you kill anyone...)
My mind went blank when I sensed crisis and my body moved on its own.
Akihito: "No..."
Yoshino: "Don't....curse, Akihito-sama...."
I gripped Akihito-sama's left arm tightly and shook my head frantically.
It was only then I felt severe pain and heat running through my shoulder.
Tumblr media
Yoshino: "Ah..."
(I'm slashed)
Akihito: "Yoshino...?"

Mitsu': Kanji of the year sums up pandemic in Japan 2020
The kanji character for “mitsu,” used repeatedly in calls to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, has been picked as the kanji best describing this year’s social mood in Japan, a Kyoto-based academic organization said Monday.
In making the announcement at the 26th annual year-end event organized by the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation, chief Buddhist priest Seihan Mori of the Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto wrote the character on a piece of paper 1.5 meters in length and 1.3 meters in width with a giant calligraphy brush.
The character garnered 28,401 votes, or 13.65%, out of the 208,025 cast in a poll, the foundation said.
“Mitsu,” on its own, means “close” or “dense.” This word has often been used as a way to raise public awareness about social distancing, with experts and government officials calling on the public to avoid the crowded settings.
The phrase “san mitsu” or the “3Cs” — confined spaces, crowds and close-contact settings — was also selected as Japan’s top buzzword for the year earlier this month.
Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike is credited with raising the profile of the slogan, with her call to the public about the measures so insistent that it even inspired the creation of a viral online game.
“Many people had to always keep in mind ‘mitsu’ in carrying on with our everyday lives,” the foundation said in explaining the result of the poll.
Last year, “rei” was selected after the new imperial era Reiwa commenced on May 1 following the ascension of Emperor Naruhito to the chrysanthemum throne. His father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito, had abdicated the previous day, the first Japanese monarch to do so in about 200 years.
The foundation began naming a kanji of the year in 1995. The first kanji was “shin” meaning “quake” or “shiver,” which reflected the fear people felt at the time following the Great Hanshin Earthquake and the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system.
