Princess Yuriko Dies at Age 101



Princess Yuriko was born in 1923 to one of the elite families at the time. At age 18, Princess Yuriko married Prince Misaka, the younger brother of the late former Emperor Hirohito. 

She had been experiencing deteriorating health since last week and died on Friday, due to pneumonia. She was the oldest member of the Imperial family at 101 years old. May she rest in peace.

R.I.P.
Princess Yuriko was famous for her hard work to improve the standard of living for ordinary people.
She had much hardship in her life, getting married just before the Pacific War started, and losing two of her sons when they were in their prime.

A very ripe old age. What all she has seen. . .

Princess Yuriko has experienced the changing times of Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, and now Reiwa. She is a wonderful person who fulfilled her role.
