This week in Japan saw the new Reiwa Emperor Naruhito proclaim his Enthronement in a series of sacred Shinto rites that formalize his ascent to the Chrysanthemum Throne. Like the Emeritus Heisei Emperor before him, he wished to for the happiness of the Japanese people and pledged the following:
"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, while always wishing for the happiness of the
people and the peace of the world, turning my thoughts to the people and
standing by them," Naruhito said.
We at American Mishima wish Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, peace and happiness throughout the Reiwa Era. Long may they reign. ばんざい! ばんざい! ばんざい!
