【梨本伊都子】宝石も屋敷も身分も失って――それでも「最後の貴婦人」と呼ばれた生涯

More than twice the annual salary of a Prime Minister. What if that was the price of a single tiara? Itsuko Nashimoto, born into a noble family, married into the Nashimoto Imperial family, and after the war lost everything and became a "commoner." From her glamorous early life, celebrated in Parisian high society after her birth in Rome, Italy, to the hardships of her later life—her husband's arrest on suspicion of being a Class A war criminal, and the loss of her jewels, mansion, and status—what were her true feelings revealed in the diary she kept for 77 years? The last noblewoman who wrote, "Japan is doomed," upon Empress Michiko's engagement. We look back at her dramatic life through the records of her diary. Please read to the end. ▼ Table of Contents (Chapters) 00:00 A 20,000 Yen Tiara – A Wedding Dowry Exceeding the Prime Minister's Annual Income 01:45 A Young Lady Born in Italy – Raised in the Wealthy Nabeshima Marquis Family 08:56 Engagement at 14, Becoming Princess Nashimoto – And the Diary Written Over 77 Years 14:50 The Fate of Two Daughters – A Political Marriage Announced in the Newspaper 19:43 War and Downfall – Her Husband's Arrest, the Jewel She Gave Up, and "Japan is Doomed" If you enjoyed this video, please like, comment, and subscribe to the channel.
