 JPRI Working Paper No. 66
Over the teacups, Naruhito was introduced to Masako Owada, then twenty-two, eldest daughter of Hisashi Owada, Director-General of the Treaty Division of the Foreign Ministry, a high-powered Japanese bureaucrat (who, it was later rumored, may have had a hand in arranging the meeting).
Masako dined at the palace with Naruhito's family, and was treated to a musical evening with the Emperor playing the cello, the Empress on the harpsichord, and their children playing viola and violins.
On his 39th birthday last year, Naruhito was once again asked whether the couple was expecting a child, and once again he joked about the stork, adding, some thought with a touch of impatience in his normally courteous manner, that he understood the importance of the question, and his people's hopes.

 Boston.com / News / World / Asia / Japan's Crown prince grateful for support
Naruhito drew attention to Crown Princess Masako's troubles before his European trip by issuing an unprecedented rebuke of palace officials for restricting his wife's activities.
Masako did not accompany Naruhito to royal weddings in Denmark and Spain because she has not fully recovered since suffering from shingles -- a skin rash often induced by stress and fatigue.
Analysts say Naruhito was blaming officials at the Imperial Household Agency, which tightly controls affairs of the royal family and has a reputation of being exceedingly conservative.

But a daughter would create palace intrigue, and would give Naruhito and Masako an opportunity to put their imprint on the imperial institution by insisting that their daughter be treated as a boy would.
Naruhito continued the process of modernization by studying at Oxford, the first royal to be educated outside Japan, and then selecting and wooing, to be his bride, a strong-willed woman with a brain (she admitted reading anti-imperialist writer Kenzaburo Oe).
Naruhito and Masako opened an AIDS conference in Yokohama in 1994, and Akihito and Michiko soothed earthquake victims in Kobe in 1995, but even those tepid public overtures were somewhat controversial.

She married Naruhito on June 9 1993, much to the public's delight.
However, many younger Japanese women felt conflict when Masako gave up her career in order to marry the Crown Prince, thereby accepting the many restrictions imposed by life in the Imperial Court, thanks to the powerful and highly conservative Imperial Household Agency.

 Khaleej Times Online
TOKYO - Crown Prince Naruhito, heir to Japan’s ancient throne, marked his 45th birthday on Wednesday with an apology for hinting months ago that his wife had been the target of overzealous palace officials bent on making her fit the palace mold.
Naruhito said his wife, Crown Princess Masako, is recovering gradually from a stress disorder that forced her to withdraw from virtually all her official duties for more than a year.
Naruhito touched off a major tempest last May by angrily suggesting in a news conference that palace officials contributed to her illness by disrespecting her background and the diplomatic career she gave up 12 years ago to marry into the imperial family.

The Japanese crown princess, Masako, has been made ill by efforts to crush her personality, her husband prince Naruhito suggested yesterday in an unusually outspoken attack on the straitjacket culture of the imperial household.
Naruhito's recent public statements have been critical of a system that he blames for his wife's poor health.
Yesterday, he went a step further by admitting the conformist pressures of the imperial court had a negative impact on his wife, an Oxford-educated multilingual diplomat who was obliged after marriage to become a demure housewife walking several steps behind her husband.

One idea to add a human dimension to the relationship is a visit by Crown Prince Naruhito, heir to the throne, Crown Princess Masako and their baby daughter, Aiko, whose written name is made up of the characters for “love” and “child”.
A Japanese committee had been set up to scour the world for a bride for Naruhito, screening some 60 to 70 possibles, who, of course, had to be a virgin and shorter than Naruhito, and who, most importantly, would hopefully produce a male heir to the throne.
Naruhito, however, only had eyes for Masako Owada, whom he had met at a concert in Tokyo but who had initially decided to continue her career as a diplomat.

TOKYO: When Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito announced his engagement more than a decade ago to Masako Owada, a rising star in the diplomatic corps, he promised “to protect her with all his strength.” Japan’s public is now beginning to understand why.
The unusual show of anger from what could well be the world’s most circumspect royal family has since swelled into an imperial tempest, dominating the daily talk shows and editorial pages, and prompting a series of embarrassed statements from top palace officials.
Naruhito’s mother, Empress Michiko, also complained of harsh treatment at the hands of palace conservatives and had to take time off from her duties as crown princess after a miscarriage in the 1960s.

As the nation celebrated the first child born to Crown Princess Masako after eight years of marriage to the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Naruhito, the prime minister faced calls to abandon the controversial law forbidding women from reigning.
Naruhito, eldest son of Akihito and Empress Michiko, had courted Masako for years before finally winning her hand in marriage in 1993.
After marrying Naruhito, Masako quit her post as a career diplomat at Japan's Foreign Ministry and has kept a low profile.
