@@normamimosa5991 I strongly suggest you read up on Japanese history. Japanese Emperors have rarely had "supreme power" or for that matter, any power, but were largely "used" as figureheads by the Shoguns, bureaucrats, military, etc. Their "authority" today is essentially the same as in the past. Others made the decisions, that were carried out in the name of the Emperor, even when the Emperor did not personally approve of the policy. Case in point, the Shoguns were the de facto government, which acted in the name of the Emperor.
@ogidokki I don't know if you are speaking of Hirohito. WWII divine in the eyes of the Japanese. they didn't apologize for their actions. I don't think we apologized for vaporizing two of their cities either.
@ogidokki I am not going to rationalize the vaporization of tens of thousands of innocent people. But then again if not for the bomb(s) a plan was afoot to invade the Japanese mainland. Not just the military armed but each and every able bodied person. The entire population of Japan vs the 10's of thousands of troops. No real contest. So instead of the sacrifice that was planned the bomb was dropped. From the way it was worded it sounded like this emperor not Hirohito. What the Japanese did is no worse that we we did when we dropped the atomic bomb(s). It could have been seen as a war crime since they were non combatants. Try as we may we can't revise history. I have some affinity for the Japanese since I married one.
@ogidokki I don't have your previous comment. We can't revise history. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 'military' targets. Ports and military manufacturing. So the dropping of the bomb was justified to our military. It was also a terror weapon in today's verbiage. It took the second bomb to show them it was futile to go on fighting. There is a video of the 'rehearsal' of the landing invasion of Japan. It saved both American and Japanese lives. History is what it is and we can't change it. We can disagree with it and hopefully learn from it.
I really liked towards the end, how on the way out Emperor Akihito, momentarily stopped, turned and bowed to the audience. One last time as Emperor before leaving the throne[?] Room.
I was reading about their relationship and it's known that Akihito's mother didn't like her daughter in law - she believed that Michiko wasn't good enough for her son. I think part of the dislike was due to the fact that Michiko was from a Roman Catholic family.
@PATRIOT HAM I don't think that Akihito should have to apologize for something he had nothing to do with. If he chose to make an apology it would be nice, but it shouldn't be required. That would be like asking the people of Germany to apologize for what the Nazis did.
@Tiger HamYou can't get on with the future, when you are stuck in the past. ( Korea also invaded Japan in 1274,1281,and 1419. Did Korea apologize to Japan?)
I think it's because she reminds so many of their favourite grandmother/great aunt, who always kept a packet of your favourite sweets on her, and snuck them to you when your mum is not watching ...
Certainly, I am also charmed by beauty of Empress. She seemed like marbel statue or Japanese doll. She is Great standard of sophistication and elegance which is forever.

I met him once when we lived in Japan. Nice enough man. He was tickled with my blonde blue eyed babies. He tried to make my daughter smile. Dignified, yet just a grandfatherly elderly man.
I don't see a reason for Japan to apologize, their grandparents who fought in the war are long dead, their people as a whole have evolved culturally far beyond that of their grandparents. Asking Japan to apologize for the war is the same as asking white people to apologize for slavery. They are a great and peaceful and respectful culture and I consider them to be one of our closest allies.

I thank you from bottom of my heart for having me as a symbol of Japan and supporting me.

It’s fairly new for a Royal Palace. What you’re looking at is the most prestigious room in the Tokyo Imperial Palace Complex, most of the buildings were constructed in the 1950’s and 60’s as the originals were destroyed during World War II. This one called the Matsunoma State Room. It’s the only room made with a pine wood floor. Most of the more important Imperial family ceremonies are held in this room. There are also an on site media gallery built in for easier tv transmissions.
It's the influence of the traditional Japanese aesthetics. There account from western envoys to Japan during the final days of the Tokugawa government were they note the 'simplicity' of the Shogun meeting hall and their garments, in opposition to the European monarchs and it's glorious/luxurious halls.

These treasures are said to belong to Sun God Atamerasu where the royal family originated from. They are shadowed in mystery and nobody really knows what do they look like. Akihito gave it back and left while later on the new king get them back during the following ceremony
The Emperor and Empress has very good eyesight. His voice tone too is strong .wow Japanese people are generally healthy people. What is the secret of their healthiness and long life?
It's the Imperial Emblem/Seal. Represents the Imperial Family like the emblem on the British Passport represents the Royal Family.

I remember seeing that symbol on the throne on some of their Navy ships even during ww2. I wonder what it means.
It's the Imperial Emblem/Seal. Represents the Imperial Family like the emblem on the British Passport represents the Royal Family.
Back in the days Japan was officially an Empire, so the Navy was called Imperial Navy and that's why they used the Imperial Emblem/Seal. You can see these seals all other Japan in religious or historical sites.
