Biography
Masako was born in Tokyo Prefecture, the daughter of Emperor Meiji and Lady Sachiko. She held the childhood appellation "Tsune no miya" (Princess Tsune).
Her future husband, Prince Tsunehisa Takeda, was the eldest son of Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa and thus the brother of Prince Kitashirakawa Naruhisa. Emperor Meiji authorized Prince Tsunehisa to start a new princely house in March 1906, largely to provide a household with suitable status for his sixth daughter Princess Tsune. Prince Takeda married Princess Masako on 30 April 1908, by whom he had a son and a daughter:
- Prince Tsuneyoshi Takeda(竹田宮恒徳王, Takeda-no-miya Tsuneyoshi Ō; 4 March 1909 – 11 May 1992)
- Princess Ayako Takeda(禮子女王, Ayako Joō; 4 July 1913 – 3 September 2003), married Count Sano Tsunemitsu.
She died on 8 March 1940, aged 51.
