TOKYO, March 28 (AP) - (Kyodo)—A team of doctors has requested that media organizations continue to refrain from covering the private activities of the ailing crown princess, Grand Master Issei Nomura of the Imperial Household Agency said Friday.
In a statement, the doctors noted signs of recovery for Crown Princess Masako, saying, "
Her range of activities has been expanding."


They also stressed the importance of her interactions with other people in her private life, saying, "
Maintaining personal contacts with a variety of people will lead to healing."


The crown princess has relinquished many of her official duties and was diagnosed in 2004 with adjustment disorder, a psychological condition attributable in part to pressures resulting from palace life.

"
Attempts have been made to report on her personal activities to the extent that her treatment has come to be disrupted,"
the statement said.

Japan's crown prince Naruhito left Monday on a trip to Brazil without his wife, Princess Masako, who was deemed too weak to make the voyage. Naruhito departed Tokyo's Haneda airport on a government plane, Imperial Household spokesman Minoru Osawa said.

The prince is embarking on a 12-day journey to mark the 100th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil, which is home to the largest Japanese community outside of Japan. The trip is to include visits to Brazilian cities including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as stops in New York and Los Angeles.

Naruhito said last week Masako is too weak to travel. The 44-year-old princess is recovering from a stress-induced ailment that has kept her from most of her official duties over the last several years. GPD AP
