    I really do feel for her.

    Otsukaresama deshita - a small step in the thousand ri journey to a full recovery - even if it was a glorified shopping trip.

    I feel sorry for her. I wish they could be more like the British royals and give them some independence. Maybe teh British have scandals, but that's reality not enforced living in the Imperial Palace with out dated rules.

    This is really sad. Smart as a whip girl marries into the family and is completely shut down. She needs to get away.

    Nice news :)

    This 'you must produce a male heir' pressure harks back to the time of Henry VIII in the 1500's. At least you aren't allowed to behead your wife for not having a boy these days.

    At a time of recession Princess Masako is doing the right thing by shopping and smiling = everything is OK!

    See you at Sakura.

    I hope she enjoyed herself. Beats being cooped up all the time.

    T-Gas: "smart as a whip..."

    perhaps that is why she was introduced to a "butter-maker." Quiet subtext being 'replaceable.'

    We all know she is brilliant, but j-societal nonsensically locked in place. For the story to even headline 'a solo official outing' is just adding to the sickness of how she 'is' allowed to be perceived.

    -So you are saying she is trading one illness (depression) for another (shopping).

    This is Japan, many will gladly take that trade! (Masako was smarter than I thought)

    I wish the whole Family was non existent. Waste of tax payer money.

    Sad.
