Japan's new Emperor Naruhito officially takes up post
TOKYO - Japanese Emperor Naruhito formally took up his post on Wednesday a day after the abdication of his father, saying he felt a “sense of solemnity” but pledging to work as a symbol of the nation and the unity of its people.
“I pledge that I will always think of the people, and while drawing close to them, fulfill my duties as a symbol of the Japanese state and the unity of the Japanese people in accordance with the constitution,” Naruhito, wearing a tailcoat and several large medals, said with a small smile. U.S. President Donald Trump, who will be the new imperial couple’s first diplomatic test when he visits Japan this month, extended his congratulations.

This time the mood is more festive. Japan has been draped in banners welcoming Reiwa - the name of the new era for Naruhito’s reign - during an unprecedented 10-day holiday.
