Princess Aiko, the only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, began her first day of work at the Japanese Red Cross Society.
The princess joined as a contracted employee and will be assigned to a department focused on training volunteers.
"While my days as a working member of society have just begun, I will endeavor to adjust quickly to the workplace and be of assistance," she said, adding that her parents had wished her luck.
