According to the report, Japanese 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 her own health.

The report also stated that the Empress Emerita 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. She visited the Emperor Emeritus day after day when he was hospitalized at the University of Tokyo Hospital in May and July.

The report added that Empress Emerita Michiko offered silent prayers with Emperor Emeritus Akihito on special occasions this year, such as the memorial ceremonies for victims of last year's huge earthquake and heavy rain that hit the Noto Peninsula in central Japan, the 30th anniversary of the January 1995 earthquake in Kobe, western Japan, and surrounding areas, the 14th anniversary of the March 2011 powerful earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan and a series of anniversaries related to World War II.
