Do you know if her daughter Sueko continued hostessing or otherwise using those diplomatic skills for their intended purpose?
She did! She spent some time as an English conversation partner for one of the Imperial Princesses (I can't keep the Imperial Family straight in any generation, they all have five names and none of them are pronounced the way you'd expect), and eventually married her cousin Inoue Katsunosuke. They lived in Germany for ten years while he was ambassador there, and Sueko studied French on her own in Paris for a while, becoming fluent in French and German as well as English as well as a leading social hostess. Apparently she even became friendly with the Queen of England while they served there in the 1910s...
That's mostly a Wikipedia summary, sorry; you can find a very regal-looking picture of here on the Japanese Wikipedia page here https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%95%E4%B8%8A%E6%9C%AB%E5%AD%90
