She was born on December 6, 1925, at Akasaka Palace in Tokyo, as the first child of Crown Prince Hirohito (later Emperor Showa) and Crown Princess Nagako (later Empress Kojun). At the time of her birth, her father was still Prince Regent, as her grandfather, Emperor Taisho, was unable to rule. Princess Shigeko grew up in the Japanese Imperial environment and played an important role in the royal family's activities. She married Prince Morihiro Higashikuni in 1943, but in the aftermath of World War II, she lost her Imperial status when the Higashikuni family was removed from the aristocracy in 1947. Adjusting to life outside the court, she faced many challenges before tragically passing away from cancer in 1961 at the age of 35.Count Yorinaga Matsudaira (1874-1944) was the eighth son of Matsudaira Yoritoshi, the former daimyo of Matsuyama Domain in Shikoku, and a prominent political figure in Japan during the late Meiji and early Showa periods. In 1909, he became a member of the House of Peers, serving continuously with the exception of a hiatus between 1911 and 1914, until his death. In 1937, when Fumimaro Konoe assumed the office of Prime Minister of Japan, Yorinaga Matsudaira was appointed President of the House of Peers, breaking with the established precedent that only individuals holding the rank of prince or marquis could occupy such high-level positions.The Imperial Seal of Japan or National Seal of Japan, also called the Chrysanthemum Seal (kikumon), Chrysanthemum Flower Seal (kikukamon, kikukamonsho) or Imperial chrysanthemum emblem (kikunogomon) is the crest (mon) used by the Emperor of Japan and members of the Imperial Family. It is one of the national seals of Japan and is used in a manner similar to the national coat of arms of Japan. During the Meiji period, no one was permitted to use the Imperial Seal except the Emperor of Japan, who used a 16-petaled chrysanthemum with sixteen tips of another row of petals showing behind the first row. Therefore, each member of the Imperial family used a slightly modified version of the seal. Shinto shrines either displayed the imperial seal or incorporated elements of the seal into their own tag.
