New Emperor swears to fulfill responsibility as symbol of the state Japan's new Emperor has begun his reign now that his father has abdicated. The Emperor made his first official address in his new role. The 126th Emperor of Japan attended a ceremony on Wednesday morning at the Imperial Palace, where he made a speech in his new role. "I have hereby succeeded to the throne pursuant to the Constitution of Japan and the Special Measures Law on the Imperial House Law. When I think about the important responsibility I have assumed, I am filled with a sense of solemnity. ... Emperor Naruhito is 59 years old and was born on February 23, 1960. He is the first Emperor born after World War Two. This is Japan's first imperial succession from a living Emperor in more than 200 years. For the first time in Japan's modern history, it has both a reigning and an abdicated Emperor at the same time. The Imperial Palace grounds will be open to the public on May 4th to celebrate the enthronement. Throughout the day, the Emperor and Empress will appear on the palace balcony to greet well-wishers.

Masako Owada: The woman who just became Japan’s new empress TOKYO Two young women, born just a couple of years apart on opposite sides of the world, found themselves in equally daunting positions when they married the heir to the throne in their respective countries: Diana Spencer (born 1961), married Charles, Prince of Wales of the United Kingdom in 1981, while Masako Owada (born 1963) followed suit on June 9, 1993, upon her wedding to Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan. In each case, it seemed like the entire country was desperate for the heir to the throne to “settle down,” as both princes were in their early 30s, and there was considerable pressure to find a bride. It had to be a woman of good background with an impeccable reputation, and it certainly wouldn’t hurt if she was photogenic, too. ... From an established career to life as a princess Masako Owada was a global citizen before she even reached school, having lived in Russia and New York as a preschooler during her father’s diplomatic postings. After some years back in Japan, the Owada family returned to the USA when Masako was in her second year of high school. An excellent student, she majored in economics at Harvard and then went on to Tokyo University for graduate studies. In 1986, she became one of a handful of women to pass the prestigious Ministry of Foreign Affairs entrance exam. Masako first met Prince Naruhito the same year, and it is said he was immediately taken with her intelligence and manner. However, although there was some media interest surrounding Masako as a potential royal bride, she was determined to focus on her budding career. She was selected for a posting to England, where she studied for a degree in international relations at Oxford. The Prince had not forgotten about Masako, however, and after she returned to Japan several years later, the Imperial Household Agency began to set up carefully orchestrated meetings between the two. The prince politely but persistently pursued the topic of marriage, and although she turned down his proposals several times, Masako was eventually won over and agreed to marry him in December of 1992. Their engagement was announced the following January. -50% read more japantoday.com/category/features/opinions/masako-owada-the-woman-who-just-became-japan%E2%80%99s-new-empress?Empress Masako reminds me of former Empress Farah Diba, with a much softer appearance. www.flickr.com/photos/7132788@N07/2261654358/in/photostream/ |

Future of the Imperial family As Japan celebrates the new Emperor's enthronement, some people are turning their attention to the future of the Imperial family. As it stands right now, there are 18 members. And that number is shrinking. With Emperor Naruhito on the throne, only three heirs remain. His nephew, Prince Hisahito, is the only person in the next generation capable of keeping the Imperial bloodline alive. By law, only male descendants of the Emperor can take the throne. But women make up more than two thirds of the family. -50% read more: www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190501_36/?fbclid=IwAR18uLY_r-st3r-MRhMpX3znOvydWVGB71pcbEXXjN767MvkQOkpRmTQbqM |

Gov't mulls postponing Emperor's enthronement parade until Nov. 10 due to typhoon damage The government is preparing to postpone a parade next week in celebration of Emperor Naruhito's enthronement until Nov. 10 in light of damage caused by Typhoon Hagibis. ... The "Shukuga-Onretsu-no-gi" Imperial motorcar procession was scheduled to start from the Imperial Palace and proceed to the Akasaka Imperial Grounds in Tokyo, with Emperor Naruhito, who ascended the throne in May, and Empress Masako aboard an open car on the afternoon of Oct. 22. ... As dignitaries from over 190 countries, regions and international organizations are scheduled to attend the enthronement ceremony, it is apparently difficult to reschedule the event.

I read they've postponed the 4-mile parade to November, to give people hit by the typhoon some recovery time. Some people are disappointed Sheikha Moza is not going to be there, she the fashion plate. The US meanwhile are sending a minor official after the VP bowed out.

Because that's how it should be. We are talking about the Emperor and Empress of Japan, they are of an ultra-conservative family representing all the Ages of their country. Macron is "married" to a woman twice his age and a mother of 3. Her oldest child is older than Macron himself. Hollande was never married to any of his "wives". Not Segolène Royal, not "Trierweiler" and not Julie Gayet. It is fair and just that Nicolas Sarkozy, an aristocrat (Sarkozy de Nagy Bocsa) and Carla Bruni (also an aristocrat) NS probably being the best French President of a finishing 5th Republic represent France with his wife Carla Bruni, a multilingual woman of style and class represent France at the Imperial entrhonement ceremony.

The Emperor and Empress are there for the PEOPLE OF JAPAN. They are not there to show themselves off at dinners and parties and foreign travel. No sophisticated fashion designers clothing and lavish parties. They are moral examples as were the previous Emperors. There are no scandals in the Imperial House. Those in the family who want to live different are free to leave the Imperial House and go do their own thing. Once gone it's forever. There is no question of returning. May the Emperor and Empress live long and stay healthy in the service of the people of Japan. |

This has pictures and a diagram. Japan's Emperor Naruhito proclaims enthronement in ancient-style ceremony TOKYO - Japanese Emperor Naruhito officially proclaimed Tuesday his enthronement before roughly 2,000 guests, including dignitaries from about 190 countries and international organizations, in a ceremony at the Imperial Palace featuring elements of ancient protocol. "I pledge hereby that I shall act according to the Constitution and fulfill my responsibility as the symbol of the state and of the unity of the people of Japan," said the 59-year-old emperor as he unfolded a script and read it out from inside the 6.5-meter-high canopied Takamikura imperial throne. The ceremony, equivalent to a coronation, only lasted about 30 minutes. Dressed in a "Korozen no goho," a dark-orange robe with a design dating back to the ninth century that emperors wear on special occasions, the 126th emperor in the world's oldest hereditary monarchy added, he always wishes for "the happiness of the people and the peace of the world, turning my thoughts to the people and standing by them." Empress Masako, 55, dressed in a layered court kimono, stood inside the adjacent Michodai throne in the "Sokuirei Seiden no gi" ceremony at the palace in central Tokyo, attended by Britain's Prince Charles, South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak Yon, Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan and Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, among others. ... In the rite, which dates back more than 1,000 years, held half a year after the emperor's ascension to the throne, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe conveyed felicitations from the floor of the "Matsu-no-Ma" state room at the Seiden State Hall. "We will make our utmost efforts to create a peaceful, bright future full of hope for Japan" and an era where people come together to develop the country's culture, Abe said. -50% read more here: english.kyodonews.net/news/2019/10/31bf12d1744f-japan-emperor-to-announce-enthronement-in-ancient-style-ceremony.html |

Orleanists recognize Jacques d'Orléans, son of the Count of Paris, as Duke of Orléans. Per Orleanist reckoning, the title has merged with the crown. Jacques is the younger fraternal twin brother of Michel d'Orléans. According to Orleanists, the last of twins to be born is the first-born.

Bonaparte was a recognized genius, like him or not. He drew entire battle plans at Collège de Brienne at a young age. Collège is high school level in France unlike in the U.S. or Canada. He was one among few, like Alexander the Great, Cyrus, and other great conquerors. The Grimaldi family have no direct links whatsoever with either Bonaparte or Ramolino families. If Sainte Dévote (Divota in Corsican language) had not wrecked-landed her boat in Monaco (another legend) there would have been no Principality of Monaco. |

Back on topic. More about the enthronement ceremonies. Translated from Japanese. A series of rituals were also held with gorgeous figures by the female royalty. On the morning of the 22nd, I wore a traditional robe Montant, and a few hours later I wore a twelve single (one), so I changed my clothes to busy. Akishinomiya-sama and other imperial family members who are moving around Miyanaka in the midst of falling rain. The female imperial family dressed in “Robe Montant” with a long dress and the neck closed, and faced the “Kensho Daimae”. Only 3 hours later. One of the most important events that the Emperor declares the throne is the “Ritual of the throne of the throne”. It seemed that the Heian emaki was reproduced in the palace. His Majesty wears a bundle that only the Emperor wears, “Kurozen no Gogo”. “Yellow Dye” is said to represent the color of the sun. The empress who stood at the “Myodaidai” is a twelve-seven figure, and the pale purple outer coat contains the crest of Hermanus, the mark of Masako. Mr. Akishino is the “Ouni no Ho” worn by the Crown Prince. Princess Akishino and Noriko are twelve singles with light purple on the outer garment and deep purple of Kara. And on the 23rd, Reiko celebrates her 28th birthday. Yoshiko who followed it also attended with an old-fashioned figure. This is the first time that both Reiko and Yoshiko are wearing twelve. How will the costume change at the “Feast of the Feast” held on the night of the 22nd? A feast at the throne that was held 29 years ago.
