She did not want to have an arranged marriage only true love, and so many tried and failed, even an Indian prince who gave her an emerald ring. Then one day she heard laughter at a table, and saw a man telling stories of his faraway adventures in Mexico. She listened and was immediately drawn to him. Several days later she met him and fell in love with him. Her parents met him his name was Kiso Tsuru,they did not approve him as he was of lower class and considered a foreigner. But after Mihoko's insistence they accepted,and married in Tokyo when she turned 19.[3]
