Naruhito To Ascend Chrysanthemum Throne

Tokyo, May 1 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st May, 2019 ) :Japan's new Emperor Naruhito will formally ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne on Wednesday, a day after his father abdicated from the world's oldest monarchy and ushered in a new imperial era.
Naruhito officially became emperor at the stroke of midnight but the process will be formalised with the 10-minute ritual, which is off-limits to female royals -- even his wifeMasako.
It takes place on the first day of the new imperial era of Reiwa, meaning "beautiful harmony", which will last throughout Naruhito's reign.
The 59-year-old will be presented with the sacred imperial treasures of a sword and a jewel, as well as the seal of state and his personal imperial seal, at a solemn ceremony in the Room of Pine in the Imperial Palace at 10:30am (0130 GMT).
The sole woman expected to be in attendance is the only female member of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's cabinet.
Shortly afterwards, joined by Masako and other royals, Naruhito will address the nation for the first time as its 126th emperor.
He will also make a public appearance on Saturday when he will again speak to the people of Japan.
But the pomp and ceremony will wait until October 22 when he and Masako will appear in elaborate traditional robes for a ceremony in the palace before parading through the streets of the capital to be congratulated by a host of world leaders and royals.
Naruhito will greet his first foreign head of state as emperor later this month, when US President Donald Trump visits Japan to meet the new monarch.
