South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “Japan’s Princess Mako reports to ancestral deity about her marriage” – below is their description.
Japan’s Princess Mako visited three sanctuaries on the grounds of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo to report her marriage to her ancestors and offer prayers. Her October 19, 20201, private visit did not include Imperial rites usually performed by royals at the shrines dedicated to sun goddess Amaterasu-Omikami, to all the Imperial Ancestors and to the deities of Heaven and Earth. The princess is set to tie the knot with her “commoner” boyfriend, Kei Komuro, on October 26, a union which requires her to give up her royal status. She will also meet Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, her uncle and aunt, on October 22 to formally tell them about her marriage plans.
