Japanese royal family. Princess Toshi would lose her royal title if she marries a commoner?

But it says right in her wikipedia that:

"The Imperial Household Law of 1947 abolished the Japanese nobility..."

So doesn't that mean no matter who she marries she'll lose her royal title? Is the only way she can keep her royal title is if she remains unwed? (Unless she marries like a close relative or something... which is unlikely)

Yes, Japanese princesses lose their titles on marriage. The Emperor's daughter Sayako, who married in 2005, became plain Mrs. Kuroda. See below.

So, Princess Aiko/Toshi will also lose her title on marriage. There are no unrelated titled people she could marry, unless she married outside of Japan.

Yes, she will become a commoner, the days of marrying ones sister in the Royal Family have long gone.

It is 'Japanese Imperial Family'

That is true.

As far as I'm aware, Prince Hisahito is the only unmarried male member of the Imperial Family as defined by The Imperial Household Law.

Well, it didn't mean that her father lost his royal title.

Well, it didn't mean that her father lost his royal title.

What if she marries a foreign royal or noble?
