For the past year, he has been quietly spending the past year in Takanawa’s residence, refraining from going out and visiting as much as possible, including resting at the Imperial Villa, and is said to have always been taken care of nearby while caring for the health of the Emperor. There is a symptom of slight fever in the afternoon, and the number showing signs of heart failure continues to be high, but the symptom of stiff fingers on the left hand, which was caused by hormone therapy after breast cancer surgery, is gradually improving. Recently, I sometimes play the piano. In addition, the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics were held this year, and it is said that he was reminded of the events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics held 57 years ago.
