A couple years ago I saw some articles talking about the Japanese princess moving to America to live a normal life with her family.
My main takeaway was: "Japan has a royal family?"
Yeah same. From dabblings into WWII figure I knew that Japan had an emperor during WWII but I didn’t know anything about the position. I sort of assumed it fizzled out after WWII.
