About this product

Product Information

This is the story of a Japanese Princesss and is the first autobiography by a member of the Japanese Imperial family to be published in English. Her name was Setsuko, Princess Chichibu, who was born in England in 1909, the daughter of the Japanese Ambassador who was later transferred to Washington. At the age of 18, she was unexpectedly urged to marry Prince Chichibu, younger brother of Emperor Hirohito. She accepted with reluctance, they were married within the year and she was reborn into the isolated and archaic life of the Japanese Imperial Court. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a remarkable fairy story and the Prince and princess became an adoring couple, only to be parted by the premature death of the Prince in 1953. Sadly, too, their story was set in the wrong epoch. Both self-declared Anglophiles, maintaining close links with the United States, when Japan entered the Second World War they had to endure the appalling nightmare of their mother country having declared war on their adopted countries. In the post-war years, now widowed, the Princess made numerous trips to Europe in an attempt to rebuild old friendships. She was greatly loved and admired. This autobiography, written when the Princess was already over 80 years of age, is full of nostalgia and detail yet as she herself notes, ...there were some things I could not bring myself to recount .
