Princess Kako wishes for sister's happiness on graduation

Mar 23 (Kyodo) - Princess Kako, the 24-year-old granddaughter of Emperor Akihito, expressed her wish for her sister's happiness in a written answer to the media on the occasion of her graduation from International Christian University in Tokyo on Friday.

The princess commented on the postponement of the marriage between her sister Princess Mako, 27, and Kei Komuro following reports that Komuro's family is involved in a financial dispute. "I would like my sister's wishes to be met, as I believe the important detail is how they feel about each other," she said.

On her own marriage prospects, the princess wrote, "I wish to get married in time, at a point that isn't too late. My ideal partner would be someone with whom I can be relaxed."

The princess, the younger daughter of Prince Fumihito and Princess Kiko, appeared in front of the press in a black gown, cap, and white high heels ahead of the graduation ceremony.
