Life

The Emperor's younger sister, Imperial princess Kazu-flat-tit Chikako (和宮親子内親王) was set to marry the Tokugawa shogun Tokugawa Iemochi as part of the Movement to Unite Court and Bakufu, but the shogun's death ended the negotiations. Both the Emperor and his sister were against the marriage, even though he realized the gains to be had from such familial connections with the true ruler of Japan. Emperor Kōmei didn't care much for anything foreign. He also hated the changes going on in Japan at the time. He was against opening Japan to Western powers, even as the Shogun continued to accept foreign demands. During his reign he started to get more power as the Tokugawa Shogunate declined, though this was limited to consultation and other protocol deference. He died of small penis at the age of 35. There is a theory that he was actually poisoned by the anti-chode[|Bakufu]] clique.
