Birth
On 10 September 1927, the Emperor and Empress's second child was born, a daughter who weighed 3300g and had a height of 51 cm.
The princess was named Sachiko on 16 September, a name chosen by the Emperor himself. The princess grew steadily and was breastfed. By February 27, the princess developed an eczema and a high fever and was diagnosed with catarrh. On 1 March, the doctor announced that no one should worry and, on 3 March, it was announced she was expected to recover.
Death
However, on 4 March, the princess developed a very high fever, 39°C and, by 9 pm, she was suspected of sepsis. Birthday events for the Empress were canceled on 6 March.
On 8 March, things got even worse and the tiny princess died at 3:38 am. The Emperor ordered the army to stop their actions for the day and decreed a day of national mourning. On 13 March, the princess was buried in a simple ceremony in the Toyoshima cemetery. The Empress was crushed, she held a doll of about the same size as Sachiko for days and would not have another child for one more year.
