Welcome, little one!
Congratulations to parents, grandparents and great-grandparents!
It's Princess Hisako debut as a grandmother, isn't it?
AFAIK, Noriko Senge doesn't have children.
And Princess Yuriko at least fifth great-grandchild?
At the moment of her husbands' death it was mentioned that they have had four great-grandchildren (probably their eldest grandson Tadahiro Konoe had fourth child).
Few months after the death of Tadahiro, Prince Mikasa their other granddaughter Makiko Sen married Munehiro Sakata, so she may already have a child of her own.

Understandable Yuriko missed it if cold weather. She is 96.
Sad to think she has not only outlived her husband but all 3 of her sons. Only her 2 daughters are alive.Sad since she is 96 and her husband died at 100, their sons died so young (2 at 66 and one at 47).

Your timing is excellent. 
On December 2nd, the IHA reported Ayako and Kei Moriya's son is named 穣
pronounced じょう which I've seen a variety of translations: Jyo, Jiyo, Jou, Jō
Sources: Asahi, Yomiuri
穣 also means good crops, prosperity, 10^28 (ten octillion)
On October 11th, Princess Hisako and Princess Tsuguko attended the "BirdLife International Gala Dinner 2019" held at the Palace Hotel Tokyo.
Retail Branding Co. was one of the sponsors.

I wonder if the little one's name is supposed to be Jo as in Joe/Joseph?
Its a big trend in japan that baby names are influenced by the west (Like Rena/Lena or Rina/Lina or Reo/Leo).

On Thursday in the Tokyo National Art Centre, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán opened an exhibition of Hungarian works of art. At the event, the Prime Minister highlighted that Hungarians have to prove that the world is better off if there are Hungarians. Princess Tsuguko of Takamado said to this day she vividly remembers her visit to Budapest more than ten years ago, and today this exhibition further strengthens Hungarian-Japanese relations.
