Japan's Crown Princess has attended a banquet for visiting Dutch royals, her first such appearance in 11 years.
Princess Masako, 50, is the wife of Crown Prince Naruhito, the heir to the Japanese imperial throne.
She began to suffer from a stress-related illness after joining the imperial family in 1993.
Since the birth of their daughter in 2001, she has made rare public appearances but has largely stayed away from royal duties.
Princess Masako also attended a welcoming ceremony for King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife Queen Maxima, at the Imperial Palace earlier on Wednesday. It was her first welcome ceremony appearance in five years.
The event was hosted by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.
Princess Masako and the family did travel to the Netherlands last year to attend the king's inauguration in what was seen as a sign of her recovery.
Profile: Crown Princess Masako
Born on 9 December 1963, Crown Princess Masako is the daughter of a senior diplomat
Because of her father's job she attended school in Moscow and Boston before attending Harvard University
Fluent in several languages, she joined the Japanese foreign ministry in 1987
She reportedly turned down Crown Prince Naruhito's proposals of marriage twice because of a fear imperial life would be too constricting, but married him in 1993
The princess had a miscarriage in 1999, but two years later gave birth to a daughter, Princess Aiko
Media scrutiny and restricted royal life are said to have contributed to her ill health
Before marrying the Crown Prince, who is the eldest son of the Emperor and Empress, Princess Masako was a successful diplomat who spoke several languages and travelled extensively.
Observers say she had an abrupt transition from her cosmopolitan lifestyle to the rigidity of royal life in Japan.
She was diagnosed with "adjustment disorder", which is linked with symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Many blame her ill health on the pressure to produce a male heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne as the royal family went through a succession crisis.
The crisis was resolved when Crown Prince Naruhito's younger brother, Prince Akishino and his wife, had a son in 2006.
客観的事実を淡々と並べていますが、そこから伝わってくるのは、日本の皇室の前時代性。箇条書きで並べられた雅子さまのプロフィールには、こうあります。
「モスクワ、ボストンの学校を経てハーバード大へ。数か国語に堪能。外務省に入省。皇室の生活はあまりに制約が多いのではと恐れて皇太子のプロポーズを二回断るが、１９９３年に結婚。１９９９年に流産し、２年後に愛子内親王が生まれる。メディアの監視と制限的な皇室の生活が健康を損ねることにつながったと言われている。」
はい、その通りでございます！！！
こんな優秀な女性を活躍させずに閉じ込めて、男が産めないってみんなで責めて病気にしてしまうのが我が国の象徴ご一家でございます！！
ある意味、ものすごく象徴的ではあるわね。
