Ashizu Uzuhiko, a right-wing spokesman for the forces of Shintoism, wrote sarcastically at the time of the marriage that it “was conducted before the Place of Awe because Sh
da Michiko was a good student of a Catholic school. If the Sh
da family had not been Catholic, the government would not have taken such a bold step to recover the traditions of the imperial house.” Ashizu Uzuhiko, “K
taishi denka goseikon no hamon,” in
Miyabe to haken
(Jinja Shinp
sha kan, 1980), p. 165, cited in Watanabe Osamu, “Sengo seiji ni okeru tenn
riy
no rekishi to gendankai” (unpublished).
