Japan has a Catholic princess: Princess Nobuko of Mikasa, a notable figure within the Imperial House.
Born into a Catholic family and baptized as a child, she brought this heritage into the bosom of the Japanese monarchy upon marrying, in 1980, Prince Tomohito of Mikasa, with whom she had two daughters.
Throughout her public trajectory, she distinguished herself through dedicated work in social and health institutions, among them the Japanese Red Cross, establishing herself as a discreet yet striking presence in the country's public life.
