THE EMPEROR'S BIRTHDAY

Today is a holiday in Japan. It is Emperor Akihito's 73rd birthday today. I read in the news that many people visited and greeted him at the Imperial Palace. Emperor Akihito took the throne in 1989, succeeding the late Emperor Hirohito, his father posthumously known as Emperor Showa.
