The longest-lived empress in Japanese history, Showa's wife, Empress Kazumi, Ryoko Kazumi.

Empress Kasumi lived through the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei dynasties, and died in 2000 at the age of 97, making her the longest-lived empress in Japanese history.

But in fact, since 1987, she has not attended public events since 1987 due to physical reasons. Rumor has it that she developed Alzheimer's disease in her later years.

In addition to her superior living conditions, she also has family genes. Empress Xiangchun's father did not live long, but it seems that there is a family longevity gene, and the longest-lived people in the old Japanese royal family are from her family.

Her two maternal uncles, King Hatohiko and King Minoruhiko, lived to be 94 and 102 years old, respectively, and her brother King Bangying lived to be 104 years old.
