Passing the Torch


Japan's parliament last Friday enacted a law that will allow Emperor Akihito to step down and be succeeded by Crown Prince Naruhito, 57, which news reports say will take place late in 2018 or early in 2019. Emperor Akihito, 83, who has had heart surgery and treatment for prostate cancer, said in rare public remarks last year he feared age might make it hard for him to continue to fulfill his duties.



Akihito, the first emperor to never have been considered divine, has worked for decades at home and abroad to soothe the wounds of World War Two, fought in his father Hirohito's name - work that Naruhito, who said he had been "extremely moved" by his father's desire to step down, said he would continue.



"The emperor has worked for many years, taking each task to heart extremely seriously, serving as a symbol of the people and sincerely seeking out the proper way an emperor should be," Crown Prince Naruhito told a news conference ahead of a visit to Denmark.



Naruhito, a student of mediaeval transport who espouses environmental causes and has called for more men to be hands-on fathers, will be the first Japanese emperor to have received a university degree, from Tokyo's Gakushuin University.



He defied palace officials to marry Masako Owada, a Harvard- and Oxford-educated diplomat. Masako, 53, has suffered from depression brought on by the stresses of palace life and demands she bear a royal heir, and her public appearances have been limited in recent years.

After only 28 years on the job... hardly seems like he should retire.

If the Emperor were to abdicate, he will receive the title of Jōkō (上皇?), an abbreviation of Daijō Tennō (太上天皇? Retired Emperor).

I have the greatest respect for the Japanese people, just as they respect their Emperor.

It's quite an event for an Emperor to retire, however, I am surprised that the Japanese Government had to be called up for him to do so.

so now the question is, will he still be named Akihito? Does the new name only come about when they die? Emperor Hirohito since his passing is now known as Showa.

That is a dang good question......................

In Japan, the Emperor is never referred to by his given name, but rather is referred to as "His Majesty the Emperor" (天皇陛下? Tennō Heika) which may be shortened to "His Majesty" (陛下? Heika).[2] In writing, the Emperor is also referred to formally as "The Reigning Emperor" (今上天皇? Kinjō Tennō). The Era of Akihito's reign bears the name "Heisei" (平成?), and according to custom he will be renamed "Emperor Heisei" (平成天皇? Heisei Tennō, see "posthumous name") by order of the Cabinet after his death. At the same time, the name of the next era under his successor will be established.[3] If the Emperor were to abdicate, he will receive the title of Jōkō (上皇?), an abbreviation of Daijō Tennō (太上天皇? Retired Emperor
