Former Empress Michiko to undergo heart examination

There's the physical heart and the emotional heart. As for the latter, Michiko excells.

@ Laguna.

Agreed!

Her quintessential inimitable grace,elegance and innate beauty are missed as Empress.

However, given the health risks , perhaps it is a good thing she has stepped away from the intense spot-light and all the responsibilities that Office entails.

.

Best wishes to the Former Empress!!

I, for one, am glad that both she and the Former Emperor now are able to enjoy some years of "retirement" after their years of service to the country! And I do hope that they both remain in good health to do so!!

Empress Emerita should be the correct title?
