Ina sense not too different than the US First Lady- she sort of stands ready as the acme of Japanese Womanhood- and in a ceremonial role- would act as Mistress of Ceremonies for such things as presentations of honors and awards- but has little direct political power ( she is not on coins or stamps, except maybe Family day or anniversaries). She is something of a walking signboard- and is titular head of various associations and charities- like the Japanese equivalent of the Red Cross. More ceremonial than politically active Queen.

Technically considered in the (Empress) role was that pathetic Manchurian Lady, Elizabeth Wong ( various spellings such as Huang, etc) She was born in l906 and died in l946 barely forty years of age. tragically the Empress was addicted to drugs, and had an unnatural, almost Elizabethan Pallor to her complexion- High Yellow- but with a whitish cast, if you saw her on the street- not in State robes- well she looked weird.If Tzu Hsi was the last official Empress, Poor Elizabeth Wong was the last, unofficial Chinese, or properly Manchurian, Empress, propped up by the Japanese.
