Princess Mako of Japan visited the graves of her great-grandparents, Emperor Showa and Empress Kojun, at the Musashino Imperial Mausoleum in Tokyo and offered prayers ahead of her wedding with her fiancé Kei Komuro which is expected to take place later this month. Princess Mako will skip the traditional wedding rites, which is the first time a female member of the royal family has done so in postwar Japan. Under the current imperial rules, women lose their imperial status if they marry a commoner.
