Princess Mako, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, is known by people close to her as an independent and friendly woman who has pursued a career as a researcher at a museum while performing imperial duties.
The 30-year-old princess, who married Kei Komuro on Tuesday, worked as a special researcher at the University Museum of the University of Tokyo, as she earned a master's degree in art museum and gallery studies at the University of Leicester in central England in 2016. She also studied art history at the University of Edinburgh.
