some history about her
|
Masako left the University of Tokyo and went into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in April, 1987. She was assigned to the second international organizations division. Her going-home time was in 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 every day. Because, she had to work with many foreign countries with time difference. She was suddenly reported by mass communications as a Crown Princess candidate's woman in December of this year. And the inside of Japan made it noisy.
The Crown Prince held his birthday press conference in February, 1988. The journalist asked him. "Did His Imperial Highness meet the woman of your ideal?" The Crown Prince answered. "It is found whether I met the woman of my ideal or possibly I did not meet."
Masako moved to Britain in July, 1988 for training of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She entered the Oxford University graduate school in October of this year.

In London, She was followed about by the camera of mass communications all day long these days.

She said clearly in front of many journalists. "I am not really related about this problem. Please act as me quietly if you please. " For this reason, she disappeared from the list of Crown Princess candidates of mass communications.
Masako finished Britain's studying abroad and went back in June, 1990. She was assigned to two Ministry of Foreign Affairs North American Affairs Bureau North America. She took charge of economic problems, such as SII talks.
The Crown Prince answered about the woman of his ideal at his birthday press conference in 1991. "I would like to choose my wife by myself. I think that it is very important. Even if it takes time."
The report about the Crown Princess was overheated very much in 1992. Therefore, it was decided that the Japan Newspaper Publishers & Editors Association withhold a report during a fixed period about a Crown Princess report.
