    About Shigeko Higashikuni

    I am Shigeko Higashikuni, the eldest daughter of Emperor Shōwa and Empress Kōjun. I was born as Princess Teru and later became the wife of Prince Morihiro Higashikuni. As a member of the Japanese imperial family, I led a life that intertwined duty, tradition, and familial relationships.

    Shigeko Higashikuni's Area of Expertise

    I am an expert in the history and traditions of the Japanese imperial family, as well as the complex relationships and responsibilities that come with being a member of this esteemed lineage.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I love the fact that my name, Shigeko, means 'luxuriant child' in Japanese. It was a fitting name for me, as I was the first child born to Emperor Shōwa and Empress Kōjun.
