Noriko's full text response

(Q1) Along with the replacement, I was in a new position as the Emperor Princess. Akishinomiya, who became the emperor about his thoughts on his activities so far and his future ambitions, has become more busy than ever before, and was the first emperor princess to visit foreign countries and local public affairs. Please tell us about the situation.

(Kiko)
I am deeply grateful to the emperors of the emperor and the emperor who have led me for a long time in the past four years after the replacement.

In addition, they are involved in various public activities in and out of the country, and are engaged in activities for healthy living of local people, work to connect children and books, activities in schools and camps, etc. We have received vitality from people who met at various occasions.

I feel very happy and happy to be supported and encouraged by many people. Newly attended since May of this year are “Gathering of“ National Midori no Ai ””, “National High School General Sports Tournament” with Miya-sama, several events in the Miya residence, and myself. There was a “Blood Donation Campaign National Convention” attended at

From late June to early July, I visited Poland and Finland officially. I learned a lot for me and it was a valuable opportunity to meet new people, and I thanked them. Mr. Miya has been taking care of each and every job even after his position has changed.

Since the number of duties is increasing more than ever, I will continue to pay attention to the health of Miya. I would like to do my best while paying attention to my own health so that I can support the Emperor and Empress with Miyama while feeling the responsibility associated with the new position. We are

(Q2) Please tell us about the recent situation of the three children. In April this year, there was an invasion case at Ochanomizu University Junior High School, but this was the first overseas trip for the school and family at the second place of succession to the throne and the future course. Please introduce along with episodes in Bhutan.

I feel that the three children are expanding their activities.

The eldest daughter, Reiko, took over attendance at the National Urban Greenery Festival from this year and visited Nagano Prefecture in May. It seems that Shinshu's beautiful nature, sericulture and art were also impressive.

In July, we made an official visit to Peru and Bolivia. I think it was a meaningful experience, such as talking about the history and culture of South America and talking about Japanese society.

And, just like last year, I heard that this year I will be involved in the work of the Japan Crafts Association and will attend events such as the Japan Tennis Association.

The second daughter, Yoshiko, graduated from university this year, and in June, attended the Sankei Children's Publishing Culture Award Award Ceremony, which I had been involved in for a long time. In addition, we continue to do public work so far, such as attending the “All Japan High School Equestrian Competition”. From next week, I will visit Austria and Hungary.

It is my first official visit to a foreign country, and I feel like I am eagerly preparing for it by reading books and listening to experts. I hope that you will be able to fulfill your duties.

The eldest son, Rinjin, graduated from elementary school in March this year and entered junior high school in April. While actively working on various activities and issues at junior high school, the house grows rice and vegetables and investigates dragonflies. For example, when growing vegetables, we are making further improvements, such as adding fertilizer, weeding, and pollinating to increase the yield.

In Bhutan, we received a warm welcome from the royal family, including the Majesty of the Queen and the 4th King, and the Queen. At the places I visited, my eldest son seemed to take care of people, listened to interesting stories at the capital, Thimphu and Paro museums, temples, archeries, schools, etc. I was trying to understand.

And I felt the nature and culture of Bhutan as a whole body, as I touched the state of herding at Jella at an altitude of 3500 meters and farming in the ancient city of Punakha at an altitude of 1300 meters. I think that I will think about my future career as I accumulate these various experiences and expand my interest.

(Q3) Regarding the postponement of marriage between Satoko and Satoshi Komuro, please tell us how you felt Sadako's feelings as a mother and how you would like them to proceed in the future. . Do you have any advice or discussion about marriage? How about your marriage and future?

(Kiko)
I think that the eldest daughter has various thoughts now including the postponement. In such a situation, I would like to refrain from telling you about the current situation and the future by guessing the feelings of the eldest daughter.

In addition, I hope that herself will think deeply and walk about the future of her daughter. I hope that both the eldest daughter and the second daughter will build a future so that each of them can live a good life and be pleased by the people who have supported their growth.
