<p><span class="strongInContent"> It&#8217;s a wonderful invention that will help protect everyone&#8217;s lives.</span></p>
<p> Kako, 31, the second daughter of the Akishino family, expressed her impressions after visiting the &#8220;I see&#8221; exhibition held in Yurakucho, Tokyo (Chiyoda Ward) on March 2.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The exhibition was an exhibition of inventions that enrich people&#8217;s lives and were the brainchild of women. The item she held in her hand was the &#8220;Multifunctional Smartphone Accessory Type Disaster Prevention Whistle,&#8221; which won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award. It can be used to let people know where you are in the event of a disaster.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Kako came to the event wearing a white cardigan and black skirt. She was beaming throughout the tour. She listened attentively to the explanation of the woman who invented the invention, nodding her head.</span></p>
<h2> Visits to foreign countries are especially difficult.</h2>

<p> It is usually in the warmer spring months that the Imperial Family members begin to perform more official duties. Kako, who performed more than 130 official duties in 2012 and surpassed that pace last year, will be busy from March onward. Imperial family commentator Shinji Yamashita explains.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="strongInContent"> However, while she is attending university (University of Tsukuba), her priority is her studies. Therefore, it is unlikely that the burden on His Imperial Highness Prince Eugene will be greatly reduced by the fact that he will have to perform a large number of official duties. I believe that His Imperial Highness Princess Kako will be as busy this year as she was last year.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="strongInContent"> In particular, official visits to foreign countries are a great burden, both physically and mentally. She will have lectures by experts on the history and culture of the countries she will visit, and she will also have to look over materials on the facilities she will visit and the people she will meet. There is also a wide range of advance preparation, such as thinking of words to say. The young members of the royal family tend to have a tight schedule in the field, so I am concerned about the physical burden on their bodies. In fact, the visit to the Musashi Imperial Cemetery that was scheduled after her visit to Brazil last June was cancelled due to her poor health.</span></p>
<p> Kako turned 31 last December 29. What is of interest is the timing of her rumored marriage. When she graduated from International Christian University in March 2007, she commented on her own marriage, saying.</p>
<p> As for the timing of my marriage, I hope it will not be too late. As for whether I have a partner, I do not intend to answer that question, including in the future.&#8221;</p>
<p> The age of 31 can be taken as a &#8220;not too late&#8221; timing for marriage. While she is energetically engaged in her official duties, a sudden &#8220;congratulatory announcement&#8221; may also be in the offing.</p>

 Princess Kako visited the "Becoming" exhibition on March 2. She is usually busy from March onward. Although her younger brother, Prince Eugene, has completed his coming-of-age ceremony, his priority is his schoolwork. Kako's burden will be the same as before. What about her health and the future of her marriage?

Kako, who is rumored to be getting married, has been “busy with her official duties since March” and is concerned about her future.
