Empress Emerita Michiko, wife of Emperor Emeritus Akihito and mother of Emperor Naruhito, marked her 91st birthday on Monday.
The Empress Emerita broke her right thigh bone in October last year, but has recovered to almost the same condition as before the fracture. She carefully supports the daily life of the emperor emeritus, 91, who continues to receive cardiac treatment. She spends more days caring for her husband and looking after her own health.
According to an aide, the Empress Emerita Michiko worked hard on her rehabilitation every day at the Sento Imperial Residence in Tokyo's Minato Ward after her discharge from the hospital so that she could support the emperor emeritus as soon as possible.
