More photos of Princess Tsuguko at the Japan-Hungary Diplomatic Memorial Concert at Hakuju Hall in Shibuya on May 22nd.
At the event she met Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok who greeted her (In my head I'm hoping he invited her to visit the country, maybe for the anniversary of diplomatic relations).

On July 16th (?), Princess Tsuguko and Princess Hisako attended an unspecified event about the Netherlands (possibly at Expo? I based my judgment regarding the user's following posts, but nor Hisako, nor Tsuguko were at the Expo after mid-July).
I checked also the Takamado agenda for this week, but couldn't find anything by now regarding that event, nor a past event that could match with this.

I think the dress Princess Hisako wore for Czech Republic National Day (July 24) is an updated version of the dress Princess Tsuguko wore in Sri Lanka in 2013.The neckline is wider on Hisako. Although Tsuguko's appears to be top & skirt, perhaps it's a long dress underneath. The pattern and lace are the same after zooming in. Lighting, indoor vs outdoor, and photo quality can explain variations in the peach-orange color.

some (hopefully) early photos, video: NHK, Facebook kitamuratsuneo Princess Tsuguko watched the men's and women's team matches. Osaka's Kinki University High School won both competitions.
At the award ceremony, she said, "The experiences you have accumulated every day with your teammates to achieve your individual goals are truly worthy of the tournament's nickname, 'Open the Door to the Future, Chugoku Inter-High School Championships 2025.' They will be invaluable assets for your lifetime as you carve out your own future."
This year's National High School Athletic Meet (Inter-High) is being held mainly in five prefectures in the Chugoku region. Yamaguchi Prefecture is the venue for six events, including archery, table tennis, and badminton.
HIH Princess Takamado always brings such elegance and style to the events she attends .On July 12th, Princess Hisako attended the opening ceremony of "Takamado Family Netsuke Exhibition" at Suwa Glass Village Museum in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture.

Princess Tsuguko will visit Osaka Prefecture August 21st-22nd for the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025.
Here is her agenda:
* August 21st: visit to Life Dynamic Balance Hall, UK Pavilion, Jellyfish Pavilion at the Life Play Area, "Pasona Natureverse".
* August 22nd: National Pavilion of the Expo, Official Ceremony for the United Nations Special Day, Japan Pavilion, United Nations Pavilion, Italian Pavilion, Vatican Pavilion, Kuwait Pavilion.
As an Italian I'm proud that Princess Tsuguko will visit my country's Pavilion. That Princess is doing an amazing work.

Prisma, do you think Princess Tsuguko and Princess Hisako will attend the funeral for Sen Genshitsu? I was thinking yes, but actually I don't know.
In past years I remember them attending events related to the Sen family, but as far as their attendance at the funeral, I don't know.

I don't know about Princess Hisako and Princess Tsuguko. Aside from the family connection, they could go to pay respects for his service to tea, promotion of peace, and longevity.Urasenke announcement says the wake and funeral will be private with a farewell ceremony planned at a later date. Princess Akiko has attended events with Genshitsu Sen so I certainly anticipate her going to funeral or farewell event... and she's partially based in Kyoto anyway.
Only Akiko attended the tea ceremony showcasing cousin Takafumi Sen as heir apparent (wakasosho) of Urasenke but that was 2020 and the height of pandemic restrictions. I don't recall royal relatives at his older brother Akifumi Kikuchi's funeral last year, although his death was so sudden and unexpected, it may have been difficult to attend.

More photos of Princess Hisako's private visit to the Osaka-Kansai Expo on August 9: pavilions of Panama, San Marino, Belgium, UK. I wish the expo made her the honorary president, instead of Prince Akishino.

Princess Tsuguko will visit Osaka Prefecture August 21st-22nd for the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025.
Here is her agenda:
* August 21st: visit to Life Dynamic Balance Hall, UK Pavilion, Jellyfish Pavilion at the Life Play Area, "Pasona Natureverse".
* August 22nd: National Pavilion of the Expo, Official Ceremony for the United Nations Special Day, Japan Pavilion, United Nations Pavilion, Italian Pavilion, Vatican Pavilion, Kuwait Pavilion.
As an Italian I'm proud that Princess Tsuguko will visit my country's Pavilion. That Princess is doing an amazing work.
Princess Tsuguko at the Dynamic Equilibrium of Life Pavilion today:That's the only reference related to her visit that I found today. She received no media coverage, and that's annoying and incorrect. On X, users complained about her visit's almost absent media coverage. Let's hope for a better situation tomorrow at the United Nations Special Day. By contrast, the day after tomorrow Princess Kako will surely receive articles by every newspaper regarding her own visit.

More photos of Princess Tsuguko at "Playground of Life: Jellyfish Pavilion" at Osaka-Kansai Expo on August 21. She arrived just after 4pm, stopping by the teahouse reception and entering through Life Park. Thematic Project Producer Sachiko Nakajima explained the pavilion's philosophy in front of the Tree of Creation. After commemorative photos, Princess Tsuguko experienced the "Listen to Me" and "Celebrate Me" sessions.
When Tsuguko saw Nakajima's jellyfish earrings, she commented, "I also have jellyfish and ephyra (baby jellyfish) earrings. I'm sorry I couldn't wear them today. I'll definitely wear put them next time." Tsuguko and Nakajima also had a lively moment reminiscing about Edinburgh.
