[edit] Controversies

[edit] Explicit sexual talks

On 1 February 2007, the Japanese tabloid magazine "Shukan Bunshun" reported Princess Tsuguko had created a profile for herself in a Japanese SNS site adopting the alias and talked on her own sexual interests explicitly.[1]

In contrast to public images of Japanese imperial house members, whose private life is covered by a veil of Chrysanthemum taboo, her site with childish writing had been found so "obscene" to the media even without any sexual pictures.

This article is too sensitive to Japanese people that most of all mediae in Japan has deliberately ignored it and Imperial Household Agency has not published any official statements, but some Chinese newspapers[2] reported this incident.

Although the result of comprehensive polls can not be found in Japan, some punitive notes sound in one of the few following response.[3]
