Entering Graduate School, Studying Abroad, or Getting a Job……Aiko Aiko is writing her graduation thesis, “Career Paths after Graduation from Gakushuin University,” which is attracting a lot of attention.
Her graduation thesis is due at the end of December. Her future and marriage are of interest.
On the day of her 22nd birthday, Aiko visited the Sendo Palace to greet the emperor and his wife.
On the day of her 22nd birthday, Princess Aiko visited the Sento Palace to greet the Emperor and Empress. This year, he also cast his first vote in the election of members of the Imperial Family for the “Imperial Household Council. Her awareness of her status as an adult member of the Imperial Family must have grown even stronger.
On the occasion of her birthday, attention is focused on Princess Aiko’s future plans after April next year. Yuji Odabe, a professor emeritus at Shizuoka University of Social Welfare, tells us, “She will go on to graduate school and study at Genji University.
I think it is most likely that she will go on to graduate school and continue her studies of classical literature, such as The Tale of Genji. For Princess Aiko, studying classical literature is a study of her ancestors. I think there is more to be gained from this than an increase in her official duties.
It has been pointed out that the number of official duties is small, but I think this is probably to avoid the growing desire for a female emperor by appearing in the public eye herself. I am sure that she is also thinking of the Imperial Household as a whole and is being reserved in some respects.”
