Podcasts about Akihito

Queen Elizabeth II considered abdication to be a dirty word. She remained on the throne until her death at 96, and left her son Charles to waiting 73 years to take the job he was born to. But abdication is not so despised in other countries. In recent decades more monarchs have elected to retire and pass the throne on to the next generation. Thus allowing them to spend their golden years relaxing and enjoying their ridiculously well-funded retirement plans. Plus we'll find out what an ex monarch does in retirement; from studying fish to living in a log cabin to getting into even more scandal than they did on the throne. Let's meet the world's 6 living former monarchs... Akihito, Former Emperor of Japan Albert II, Former King of Belgium Juan Carlos I, Former King of Spain Beatrix, Former Queen of the Netherlands Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Former Emir of Qatar Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Former Dragon King of Bhutan Margrethe II , Former Queen of Denmark Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

27 lutego 2024 w Tokio było bardzo wietrznie, bardzo czuć, że Japonia jest wyspą na oceanie. Na ten dzień zarezerwowaliśmy sobie około miesiąca wcześniej zwiedzanie Pałacu Cesarskiego, następnie odwiedziliśmy buddyjską świątynię Senso-ji w dzielnicy Asakusa i wjechaliśmy na wieżę Tokio Sky Tree.Zwiedzanie Pałacu Cesarskiego "Imperial Palace" wymaga wcześniejszego zarejestrowania, bo wpuszczają w ciagu dnia limitowana ilość osób. Można to zrobić przez internet na stronie Agencji Dworu Cesarskiego. Zwiedzanie po wcześniejszej rejestracji odbywa się z przewodnikiem i jest bezpłatne, ale to nie oznacza wejścia do pałacu, w sensie wejścia do budynku, tylko podejście trochę bliżej pod pałac reprezentacyjny, przejście przez plac na którym odbywają się różne oficjalne uroczystości, czy zobaczenie z bliska budynków administracyjnych. Cała wycieczka z przewodnikiem trwa około godziny. Większa część terenu pałacowego jest zamknięta dla zwiedzających. Pałac Cesarski jest szerzej dostępny tylko dwa dni w roku: w urodziny cesarza oraz z okazji Nowego Roku (2 stycznia). Rodzina cesarska ukazuje się wówczas na oszklonej werandzie Pawilonu Recepcyjnego Chōwa-den. Pawilon Recepcyjny, pod który podeszliśmy z przewodnikiem jest największym budynkiem na terenie pałacowym. W jego wnętrzu jest kilka sal i pomieszczeń, które służą celom recepcyjnym i ceremonialnym. Największa z nich, Shunjū-no-Ma, ma charakter wielofunkcyjny, służy m.in. jako sala audiencjonalna. Tu cesarz odbiera listy uwierzytelniające od nowo przybyłych do Japonii ambasadorów.Rezydencja Cesarska, która jest siedzibą mieszkalną cesarza Naruhito, cesarzowej Masako oraz ich córki księżniczki Aiko, znajduje się na terenie ogrodów Fukiage, gdzie już nie wpuszczani są zwiedzający. My doszliśmy do tzw. podwójnego mostu, popularnie nazywanego Nijū-bashi.W dniu 1 maja 2019 roku starszy syn cesarza Akihito, Naruhito, został 126. cesarzem Japonii i w tym dniu rozpoczęła się nowa era o nazwie Reiwa. Jej nazwa została podana do publicznej wiadomości przez rząd Japonii miesiąc wcześniej, a oficjalne tłumaczenie nazwy nowej ery Reiwa w języku angielskim to: „Beautiful Harmony” („Piękna Harmonia").Prosto z Imperial Palace pojechaliśmy do dzielnicy Asakusa, gdzie mieści się najstarsza w mieście świątynia buddyjska Senso-ji. Do światyni wchodzi sie przez okazałą bramę „Kaminari-mon”, co tlumaczy sie jako brama grzmotow. Na lewym filarze zobaczymy posążek boga blyskawic, a po prawej boga wiatru. Obok swiatyni jest tez piekna, 5-piętrowa Pagoda. W swiatyniach szintoistycznych (shrine) mamy kapłanów, a w buddyjskich (temple) mnichów. Ponadto uklony i klaskanie w dlonie to tylko w światyniach szontoistycznych. Żona naszego kolegi Michała, ktora jest Japonką, powiedziała, ze teraz w Japonii te dwie religie sa połączone i pomieszane, i ludzie wierza w obie, każdy w sobie wiadomych proporcjach.Na zachód słońca zaplanowaliśmy wyjazd na Tokio Sky Tree, wiec kupilismy bilety na 5 pm. Jednak ten straszliwy wiatr sprawil, że ze wzgledow bezpieczenstwa kursowala tylko jedna z czterech wind, wiec na wyjazd czekalismy 2 godziny, a potem na zjazd 1 godzine. Dzieki temu zobaczylismy z góry Tokio nocą. Na górze Tokio Sky Tree jest kawałek szklanej podłogi, na której można stanąć i popatrzeć w dół. W Tokio jest kilka wież i wiele wieżowców z tarasami widokowymi. Jak dla mnie wystarczy wybrać jedną w dzień, a drugą w nocy, żeby zobaczyć Tokio z lotu ptaka w dziennej i nocnej scenerii.Na górze Tokio Sky Tree mieliśmy też pewną, nerwową sytuację. Padały nam już komórki po całym dniu robienia zdjęć, wiec Paweł podłączył telefon do gniazdka za filarem i poszliśmy obejść w koło ten punkt widokowy. Po powrocie, czyli po około 5-10 minutach telefonu i ładowarki nie było. Nie wydawalo nam się, że Japończycy są zdolni do kradzieży, dlatego pozwoliliśmy sobie pozostawić telefon bez opieki. Okazalo się, że obsługa zabrała Pawła telefon, bo nie wolno używać w wieży w publicznych gniazdek. Dlaczego? Nie wiemy, ale tu wiele rzeczy się po prostu nie robi, np. wychodząc ze świątyni idzie się bokami, nigdy środkiem - środkiem chodzą tylko nie znający japońskiej kultury turyści, czyli my. Nam na to grzecznie zwróciła uwagę żona kolegi, która powiedziała, że turystom Japończycy wiele wybaczają, ale sobie nie - więc pewnie chodziło o to, że ona Japonka wychodząc z nami ze świątyni powinna zadbać o to, żebyśmy zachowywali się zgodnie z ich zasadami.

Heute vor 90 Jahren wurde der seit 2019 abgedankte japanische Kaiser Akihito geboren.

 "As a natural life cycle occurrence, death invites either solidarity or diplomacy. The death of Japan's Emperor Hirohito in the first January weekend of 1989 brought an end to the so-called ‘62 year-long “Shōwa” (昭和) period of war and peace'. With imperial Japan's atrocities during World War II long laid to rest, the whole world—including nations formerly made victims of invasion and colonization—has sent its deepest sympathies. This also ushered in the birth of the “Heisei” (平成) era under the succeeding emperor Akihito. Radio NHK's English shortwave radio broadcast reported a global response to this significant and sad event, heard at 07:50 GMT in January 7th of 1989 at 15270kHz. “Weekend Rain” reimagines the sounds of rain, contained within recurring cyclical structures that expand in duration over time. Recordings of musical instruments—namely the piano and Japanese koto—and found objects diffuse a canvas of raining sounds as the Radio NHK broadcast interweaves with excerpts of haiku poetry I wrote in 2020 that bore the same title. While context bears no relation to the historical event during its writing, the poetry creates a unique narrative as it now forcibly responds to the broadcast: ‘Someone drops a grain of salt; Massive ocean waves jolt crowds awake! Wide-eyed stray cats rejoice.' A Spanish numbers station broadcast I randomly recorded (07:55 UTC, October 4th of 2021 at 9065kHz) joins this poetic garb of symbolism, alluding to encryption and secrecy of intelligence communications underneath public access of information with press and media broadcasts.  This work catches a small glimpse of worlds inhabiting shortwave radio, while reflecting on the impact of Japan's past and continuing involvement in global affairs."

Ken Ruoff’s Japan’s Imperial House in the Postwar Era, 1945-2019 (Harvard UP, 2020), is a revised and expanded version of the author’s The People’s Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995 (2003). The book is an extensive and detailed treatment of the Japanese imperial institution as it enters a new era, Reiwa, with the abdication of the Heisei emperor (Akihito) in 2019. In addition to The People’s Emperor’s discussions of the creation of the postwar imperial institution as a “constitutional symbolic monarchy,” the continued (clandestine) role of Hirohito in politics, the postwar emperors’ approach to Japan’s war responsibility, the “massification” of the imperial family as a kind of model “middle-class” household for the postwar, and various forms of resistance from conservatives, Japan’s Imperial House adds two new chapters and an extensive and important addendum to one other. The two new chapters, respectively, provide a retrospective on the Heisei era (1989-2019) and an overview of the challenges facing the imperial line with Akihito’s son, Naruhito, now on the Chrysanthemum Throne as the Reiwa emperor. The addendum is to chapter 5, which discusses the ways in which anti-democratic and otherwise revanchist forces in postwar Japan coopted the playbook of democratic organizing to achieve (largely symbolic) victories. As we discuss in the interview, Ruoff returns to this topic because his analysis turned out to presage the tactics and successes of Nippon Kaigi, Japan’s most influential nongovernmental ultra-conservative lobbying group, during the Abe Shinzō regime. Terms and names perhaps unfamiliar to some listeners that get bandied about in our discussion include tennō (sovereign, emperor), Yoshida Shigeru (influential early postwar prime minister), Kobayashi Yoshinori (an often-controversial manga artist), and Yasukuni Shrine (which has enshrined prominent Class-A war criminals in addition to the general war dead since March 1978). Nathan Hopson is an associate professor of Japanese and East Asian history in the Graduate School of Humanities, Nagoya University. Learn more about your ad choices.

In addition to The People's Emperor's discussions of the creation of the postwar imperial institution as a “constitutional symbolic monarchy,” the continued (clandestine) role of Hirohito in politics, the postwar emperors' approach to Japan's war responsibility, the “massification” of the imperial family as a kind of model “middle-class” household for the postwar, and various forms of resistance from conservatives, Japan's Imperial House adds two new chapters and an extensive and important addendum to one other. The two new chapters, respectively, provide a retrospective on the Heisei era (1989-2019) and an overview of the challenges facing the imperial line with Akihito's son, Naruhito, now on the Chrysanthemum Throne as the Reiwa emperor. The addendum is to chapter 5, which discusses the ways in which anti-democratic and otherwise revanchist forces in postwar Japan coopted the playbook of democratic organizing to achieve (largely symbolic) victories. As we discuss in the interview, Ruoff returns to this topic because his analysis turned out to presage the tactics and successes of Nippon Kaigi, Japan's most influential nongovernmental ultra-conservative lobbying group, during the Abe Shinzō regime. Terms and names perhaps unfamiliar to some listeners that get bandied about in our discussion include tennō (sovereign, emperor), Yoshida Shigeru (influential early postwar prime minister), Kobayashi Yoshinori (an often-controversial manga artist), and Yasukuni Shrine (which has enshrined prominent Class-A war criminals in addition to the general war dead since March 1978).

Akihito, who abdicated in April, was a paradoxical figure: a hereditary monarch, the son of the wartime emperor, Hirohito, strictly barred from political utterance, who even so stood out against the historical revisionism of the nationalist right. Richard Lloyd Parry considers the former emperor’s part in the intellectual and political debate over Japan’s wartime record, and its history of apology – or non-apology – for its conduct in East Asia.Read the lecture in the LRB: lrb.me/lloydparrypodSign up to the LRB newsletter: lrb.me/lrbnewsletterpod See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

No começo da noite de 17 de dezembro de 1996, a Embaixada do Japão em Lima, Peru, é tomada de assalto por um comando do MRTA (Movimento Revolucionário Tupac Amaru). Os guerrilheiros pediam a libertação de 500 companheiros presos. As 610 pessoas que se encontravam na embaixada para uma recepção oficial pelo aniversário do imperador japonês Akihito foram feitas reféns.

Április végén Akihito császár lemondásával véget ért a 30 évig tartó Heiszei (azaz a ’béketeremtő’) éra, az új császár, Naruhito trónra lépésével pedig megkezdődött a Reiva (azaz ’szépséges harmónia’) korszaka. A történelmi számvetést megnehezíti, hogy noha az elmúlt három évtized valóban a szigetország leggazdagabb és legbékésebb időszaka volt, azt egyúttal gazdasági stagnálás, természeti katasztrófák és társadalmi problémák sora, illetve ezek következtében a japán soft power viszonylagos eróziója is jellemezte. Az elmúlt évek gazdasági és társadalmi változásai alapján pedig úgy tűnik, a következő periódus első időszaka nagy változásokat hozhat. Mi a dolga a japán császárnak? Mi történt 1945 után? Mennyire stabil a japán monarchia? Hogyan jelenik meg a médiában a császárváltás? Véget érnek-e az elvesztegetett évtizedek? Az Orient Expressz adásában a nemrég lezajlott uralkodóváltás kapcsán Japán elmúlt 30 évéről és közeljövőjéről, valamint Akihito császár örökségéről beszélgetünk.

APRÈS MACRON, PHILIPPE Alors, que le président de la République a livré jeudi 25 avril, ses conclusions du Grand débat national lors de la première conférence de presse de son quinquennat, se pose désormais la question de la « faisabilité » des propositions annoncées et d’une réconciliation effective avec les français. Comme l’écrit Le Figaro : « Il revient désormais au Premier ministre de traduire ses intentions en actes. D’autant plus que, sur un certain nombre d’annonces - baisse de l’impôt sur le revenu, suppression des niches fiscales, (celles des entreprises), suppression des « organismes inutiles », « nouvel acte de décentralisation » -, les modalités comme le calendrier de la mise en œuvre restent à définir. » S’y ajoute le financement des baisses d’impôt annoncées Le Premier ministre a annoncé, pour juin, le vote de la loi sur l’assurance chômage, pour juillet la loi bio-éthique avec la question de la P.M.A ainsi que la proposition de réforme constitutionnelle. Au début de l’automne, la suppression de l’ENA sera examinée, ainsi que les dispositions pour lutter contre la fraude fiscale. La réforme des retraites sera proposée à la fin de l’été, après que le rapport Delevoye sur cette question aura été remis en juillet. Édouard Philippe a lancé « la mobilisation nationale et territoriale pour l’emploi qui doit « réunir l’ensemble des acteurs concernés, partenaires sociaux, organisations syndicales, organisations patronales, les associations d’élus, les associations qui accompagnent la transition énergétique pour réfléchir collectivement au niveau national, puis localement au niveau territorial à la façon dont nous pouvons collectivement nous mobiliser pour atteindre les objectifs ambitieux en matière de retour au plein emploi et en matière d’accompagnement des transitions écologiques » En mai se tiendra le premier « conseil de défense de la transition écologique » et en juin la première convention citoyenne sur le climat avec des citoyens tirés au sort.*** LE JAPON DANS UNE NOUVELLE ÈRE Le 30 avril, l’empereur japonais Akihito âgé de 85 ans, a abdiqué alors qu’il était installé sur le trône du chrysanthème depuis 30 ans. La cérémonie d’abdication aura lieu le 22 octobre, en présence de dignitaires du monde entier. C’est le Premier ministre, Édouard Philippe, qui représentera la France. Avec l’intronisation du prince héritier Naruhito, le Japon entre dans la nouvelle ère, Reiwa (“belle harmonie”). Au cours de l’ère précédente -appelée Heisei - le couple impérial est devenu plus proche des citoyens. Les images de l’impératrice agenouillée à côté des sinistrés de la catastrophe nucléaire de Fukushima de 2011 ont marqué les esprits tant cette image était jugée impensable auparavant. Malgré cette image plus positive dont bénéficie aujourd’hui Akihito, il n’en demeure pas moins que le pays est en état d’essoufflement. Akihito a, en effet, pris ses fonctions en 1989, alors que la croissance économique du Japon était à son sommet. L’indice Nikkei à la Bourse de Tokyo atteignait son plus haut score en décembre de cette même année. Les économistes prédisaient alors que le Japon dépasserait les États-Unis avant la fin du siècle, pronostic que sont venues invalider l’éclatement des bulles financières et foncières au début des années 1990, la crise asiatique de 1997, la crise mondiale de 2008, puis la catastrophe nucléaire de Fukushima en 2011. Aujourd’hui, le Japon continue de faire face à plusieurs problèmes sous-jacents : un taux de chômage élevé, un allongement du temps de travail, une explosion du nombre de travailleurs irréguliers, un fort déclin démographique et un manque d’ouverture à l’international. Le pays est confronté à des menaces sécuritaires croissantes et apparaît stratégiquement isolé face à une Chine de plus en
plus agressive qui semble disposer de moyens illimités à consacrer à l'expansion de son Armée populaire de libération (APL). Par ailleurs, les sommets entre Donald Trump et Kim Jong-un ont marginalisé le Japon, jusqu'à le faire douter de la solidité de son alliance avec les États-Unis. Face à cette montée des menaces régionales, le budget de la défense nippon atteindra en 2019 le chiffre record de 47 milliards de dollars.

FOCUS 1 / Suspicion de viol à l’Ecole n°1 : comm’ du parquet et rumeurs Retour sur les événements qui ont secoué l’école n°1 de Schaerbeek. Une suspicion de viol sur une fillette de 4 ans, revenue de l’école avec des tâches de sang dans la culotte. Les réseaux sociaux s’emballent, les rumeurs circulent, des centaines de personnes manifestent devant l’école, la tension est grande, très grande, si bien que la police doit intervenir. 5 jours après la découverte des taches de sang, le parquet de Bruxelles communique : il n’y a pas eu de viol, mais une infection. Finalement, l’école a été fermée pour la fin de semaine sur ordre du bourgmestre Bernard Clerfayt. Alors dans cette émission on va essayer de comprendre ce qu’il s’est passé. Comment travaille le parquet ? Comment une rumeur peut prendre une telle force qu’elle décrédibilise une instance comme la justice ? Pour en discuter, on reçoit Denis Goeman, le porte-parole du Parquet de Bruxelles, et Aurore Van de Winkel, spécialiste de la rumeur et collaboratrice scientifique à l’UCLouvain. FOCUS 2 / Parler du Japon, la caricature ? Mardi, tous les yeux étaient tournés vers le Japon. Naruhito, 59 ans, devenait empereur après l’abdication de son père, Akihito, 85 ans. L’événement était exceptionnel et les médias s’en sont emparés. Souvent avec fascination. Mais aussi, parfois, avec une forme de caricature. Voire pire, avec un peu de condescendance teintée d’exotisme. Mais pourquoi ? Cette « tentation de l’exotisme », on va en discuter avec Pierre Bonneels, chercheur en philosophie contemporaine japonaise à l’ULB et traducteur. Nouvelles Technologies / Amazon veut-elle nous rendre paranos ? C’est la question que l’on est en droit de se poser lorsqu’on apprend qu’une des filiales du géant américain, « Ring », une société qui vend des sonnettes connectées et des systèmes de sécurité, cherche à engager un nouveau rédacteur en chef. Jusqu’ici rien de bien alarmant. Sauf que dans la description du poste, on apprend que ce rédacteur en chef sera à la tête d’une équipe chargée des « breaking news » sur la criminalité de voisinage. Une société de sonnettes connectées qui veut signaler des activités criminelles, Gilles Quoistiaux mène l’enquête. Tendances Pub / Quand Hollywood s’empare de la pub Dans sa rubrique « Tendances Pub », Frédéric Brébant nous parle ce dimanche du retour en force de la superproduction publicitaire : des spots mis en scène comme des longs-métrages hollywoodiens, entre la fresque historique et le film de science-fiction, avec un déploiement impressionnant de moyens humains et techniques. L’Autre Web / « Caca sur les murs » Elisabeth Debourse promène son nez aux quatre coins de la toile à la recherche de raretés à nous partager. Et cette semaine, elle a déniché… « Caca sur les murs », le nouveau podcast de Slate. Drôle et journalistique, « Caca sur les murs » enquête sur un tagueur français qui écrit partout « caca ». L’occasion pour Elisabeth Debourse d’aborder le sujet des podcasts d’enquête, un genre au succès qui n’est plus à démontrer. Présentation : Marie Vancutsem

Praznik dela, ki z naraščanjem družbenih neenakosti v času nebrzdanega neoliberalnega kapitalizma, le še pridobiva na pomenu, je v številnih državah vzpodbudil proteste. To priložnost je izkoristil tudi samooklicani venezuelski predsednik Guaido, ki je pod ameriško taktirko skušal izvesti državni udar. To mu je preprečil Maduro, ki že peto leto ne zmore nahraniti ljudstva, zanj pa se je odločno zavzela Rusija. Iran je v teh dneh obupal nad jedrskim sporazumom, japonski cesar Akihito je prepustil delo sinu, Assange pa je po 7ih prostovoljnih letih za vrati ekvadorskega veleposlaništva pristal v britanskem zaporu. Več v Labirintih sveta, v petek ob 14:30 in v soboto 13:45 na prvem programu.

Au sommaire : Venezuela Coup d'État ou « escarmouche putschiste » ? Le président contesté Nicolas Maduro assure avoir contré la tentative de putsch portée par son opposant, le chef de l'État autoproclamé Juan Guaido. Y a-t-il un risque de guerre civile ? Quels sont à ce jour les rapports de force ? Les États-Unis peuvent-ils mettre leur menace à exécution et intervenir militairement ? Jusqu'où ira la Russie dans son soutien au régime en place ? Une sortie négociée de la crise est-elle possible ? Soudan Au Soudan, les militaires envisagent-ils réellement de laisser le pouvoir aux civils ? Les meneurs de la contestation ont appelé à une nouvelle « marche du million », jeudi 2 mai 2019 à Khartoum, alors que les négociations piétinent. Le comité militaire, qui dirige le pays, et la Coalition pour la liberté et le changement, qui représente la société civile, campent sur leurs positions. Bénin Le modèle béninois de démocratie a-t-il du plomb dans l'aile ? Le camp présidentiel se partage les voix des législatives de dimanche 28 avril 2019, en l'absence de l'opposition, qui souhaite l'arrêt du processus électoral et demande de nouvelles élections. 23% de participation : une abstention record. Est-ce la preuve d'une résistance de la population à toute dérive ? Japon 1er mai 2019 : bienvenue dans l'ère de la « belle harmonie » ! Au Japon, l'ère Reiwa succède à l'ère Heisei et le fils à son père. L'abdication de l'empereur Akihito au profit du prince Nahurito marque-t-elle un moment charnière pour la société nippone ? Face à de nombreux défis, vieillissement de la population, crise de la natalité, exode des jeunes vers les métropoles, place des femmes à trouver, le Japon doit-il se réinventer ? Invités : Sabine Cessou, journaliste indépendante ; Patrick Vallélian, fondateur et rédacteur en chef du bimestriel suisse « Sept Mook » ; Louis Keumayou, président du Club de l'information africaine ; depuis Tokyo, Georges Baumgartner, correspondant de la Télévision et de la Radio suisse et de Radio-Canada (depuis Tokyo). Présentation : Silvia Garcia.

Í Heimsglugganum fjallaði Bogi Ágústsson um ástandið í Venesúela en stjórnarandstaðan gerir hvað hún getur til að koma Maduro forseta frá löndum. Hann fjallaði líka um stöðu May, forsætisráðherra Bretlands, en hún rak varnarmálaráðherrann úr embætti í gær og svolítið um dönsk stjórnmál en kosið verður í Danmörku innan fárra vikna. ÍR-ingar geta orðið Íslandsmeistarar í körfubolta karla í kvöld en það gerðist síðast 1977. Mótherjar þeirra, KR-ingar, hafa titil að verja en sigri þeir mætast liðin í fimmta sinn á laugardag. Svali Björgvinsson, sem lýsir körfuboltanum á Stöð 2 sport, ræddi um liðin og stöðuna. Hann spjallaði líka um Íslandsmeistaratitil Vals í kvennaflokki og svolítið um úrslitakeppnina í bandaríska körfuboltanum. Keisaraskipti urðu í Japan um mánaðamót. Akihito lét af embætti og sonur hans Naruhito tók við. Kristín Ingvarsdóttir, starfsmaður Norræna hússins, bjó í átta ár í Japan. Hún kom í þáttinn og sagði frá keisarafjölskyldunni, hlutverki keisara og afstöðu japönsku þjóðarinnar til embættisins. Tónlist: Þú ert mér sólskin - María Baldursdóttir RPG - Seikai no Owari

Notikumus pasaulē komentē Latvijas Universitātes Āzijas studiju nodaļas asociētā profesore Agnese Haijima un laikraksta "Diena"komentētājs Andis Sedlenieks. Telefonintervijā - Daiki Horiguchi. Japānas jaunais imperators Japānas imperatoru dinastija tiek uzskatīta par pasaules senāko karaļnamu. Mīti vēsta, ka mūsdienu Japānas monarha senči sākuši valdīt arhipelāgā 7. gs. pirms Mūsu ēras, taču daudz maz droši ticamas ziņas par pirmajiem Jamato dzimtas imperatoriem atrodamas no Mūsu ēras 5. gadsimta. Tomēr vismaz kopš 13. gs. imperatoriem piekrita no zemes lietām attālinātu virspriesteru loma, laicīgo valdīšanu atstājot visvareno militāro virsvadoņu – šogunu ziņā. Tā tas turpinājās līdz pat 1868. gadam, kad rietumvalstu intervences ietekmē notika t.s. Meidži restaurācija, tika pieņemta moderna konstitūcija, kas padarīja imperatoru par reālu monarhijas galvu ar likumdošanas iniciatīvas un likumu apstiprināšanas, izpildvaras vadītāja un bruņoto spēku virspavēlnieka funkcijām. Japāna šai laikā īstenoja strauju modernizāciju un ārējo ekspansiju, kas noslēdzās ar sagrāvi Otrajā pasaules karā. Tas bija brīdis, kad senās monarhijas liktenis bija nopietni apdraudēts, jo imperators Hirohito tika uzlūkots kā japāņu imperiālisma iemiesotājs. Tomēr Japānai izdevās saglabāt savu dinastiju, vien jau atkal atbrīvojot kronēt valdnieku no praktiski visām varas funkcijām. 1947. gadā pieņemtajā konstitūcijā imperators definēts kā „valsts un vienotās tautas simbols”. Pusnaktī no 30. aprīļa uz 1. maiju pēc vietējā laika Japāna piedzīvoja varas maiņas aktu, kāds nebija noticis vairāk nekā 200 gadus: līdzšinējais imperators Akihito nodeva Krizantēmu troni, kā to tradicionāli dēvē Japānā, savam dēlam, jaunajam imperatoram Naruhito. Saskaņā ar japāņu hronoloģijas tradīciju tas nozīmē arī jaunas ēras – Reivas jeb Daiļās harmonijas laikmeta sākumu. Akihito šobrīd ir 85 gadi, un Krizantēmu troni viņš mantoja no sava tēva, jau pieminētā imperatora Hirohito, 1989. gadā. Viņš paliks Japānas vēsturē kā pirmais imperators, kura sieva nepieder pie aristokrātijas – imperatore Mitiko nāk no rūpnieku un akadēmisko darbinieku dzimtas. Tāpat Akihito daudz biežāk nekā viņa priekšgājēji parādījās sabiedrībā. Savukārt jaunais imperators Naruhito šobrīd ir 59 gadus vecs. Tāpat kā tēvs, arī viņš apņēmis sievu ne no aristokrātijas – imperatores Masako tēvs ir karjeras diplomāts un jurists. Ģimenē aug viena meita, princese Aiko, taču, tā kā Japānas karaļnama likumi liedz troņa mantošanas tiesības sievietēm, par troņmantnieku tagad kļuvis Naruhito jaunākais brālis kroņprincis Fumihito.   Igaunijas jaunā valdība Igaunijas valsts prezidente Kersti Kaljulaida jau agrāk piesaistījusi uzmanību ar iezīmīgu tērpu izvēli. Tāpēc jo sevišķi spilgts žests bija viņas ierašanās jaunās Igaunijas valdības inaugurācijas ceremonijā 29. aprīlī svīterī, kuru rotāja uzraksts igauņu valodā „Vārds ir brīvs”. Tas ir nepārprotams mājiens Jiri Ratasa kabinetam, kura sakarā tiek izteiktas bažas par tieksmēm ierobežot preses brīvību. Tās saistās ar bijušā diplomāta Marta Helmes vadīto Konservatīvo tautas partiju – spēku ar populistisku un eiroskeptisku ievirzi, kura priekšvēlēšanu retorikā dominēja antimigrācijas motīvi. Kā Marts Helme, tā viņa dēls Martins izteikušies, ka no Igaunijas sabiedriskās raidorganizācijas būtu jāatlaiž žurnālisti, kuri atļāvušies kritizēt viņu partiju. Inaugurācijas ceremonijā abi aplaimoja klātesošos ar žestu, kuru pēdējos gados saista ar balto rasisma idejām. Marta sākumā notikušajās Igaunijas parlamenta vēlēšanās pārliecinošākie panākumi bija liberālajai Reformu partijai ar Kaju Kallasu priekšgalā, taču vēlēšanu uzvarētājus no varas atstūma trīs citas partijas, izveidojot ideoloģiski savādu, acīmredzami tīrā varas loģikā balstītu koalīciju. Tajā vienojušās premjera Jiri Ratasa vadītā Centra partija, kas, starp citu, tiek uzskatīta par Igaunijas krievvalodīgo interešu aizstāvi, par nacionālkonservatīvu uzlūkotā partija „Tēvzeme” un jau pieminētā Konservatīvā tautas partija. Pēdējā sagādājusi nule kā zvērestu nodevušajai valdībai pirmo ministra demisiju dienu pēc inaugurācijas. Nesen presē izpaudās ziņas, ka jaunās valdības ārējās tirdzniecības un informācijas tehnoloģiju ministrs Marti Kūziks tiek turēts aizdomās par vardarbību ģimenē. Viņam nododot zvērestu, prezidente Kaljulaida demonstratīvi pameta sēžu zāli. Dienu vēlāk ministrs Kūziks iesniedza atkāpšanās rakstu.   Vēlēšanu rezultāti Spānijā Svētdien notikušajās Spānijas parlamenta ārkārtas vēlēšanās spožu uzvaru izcīnījusi kreisi centriskā Sociālistu partija. Pedro Sančesa vadītie sociālisti palielinājuši savas partijas frakciju teju par trešdaļu, kļūstot par ietekmīgāko spēku Ģenerālkortesos. Viņiem izdevies atņemt balsis kā radikāli kreisākajam blokam ar nosaukumu „Kopā mēs varam”, tā līdz šim valdījušajai labēji centriskajai Tautas partijai, kas šais vēlēšanās cietusi smagāko sakāvi savā vēsturē, zaudējot vairāk nekā pusi no deputātu mandātiem. Daļa šīs partijas elektorāta pārgājusi labēji populistiskās partijas Vox atbalstītāju rindās, ļaujot šim spēkam pirmo reizi iekļūt Spānijas parlamentā. Tiek lēsts, ka viens no galvenajiem sociālistu veiksmes motīviem ir Spānijas sabiedrības vēlme pēc spēcīgas barjeras pret labējo populistu varas tieksmēm. Pēc šīm vēlēšanām Spānija uz daudzu citu Eiropas valstu fona izskatās kā īsta sociāldemokrātijas citadele, tomēr vispārējais spēku samērs parlamentā liek prognozēt sarežģītu valdības veidošanas procesu.

Framkvæmdastjóri Sameinuðu þjóðanna hvetur andstæðar fylkingar til að forðast ofbeldi. Stjórn Samherja og forstjóri fyrirtækisins hafa kært Má Guðmundsson og fjóra aðra stjórnendur Seðlabanka Íslands til lögreglu fyrir að hafa misbeitt valdi sínu um árabil. Stjórnendur Samherja hafa einnig ákveðið að höfða skaðabótamál gegn bankanum vegna rannsóknar á meintum gjaldeyrisbrotum. Tvær flugferðir til Tenerife menga jafn mikið og fólksbíll á heilu ári. Umhverfisverkfræðingur segist hafa rosalegt flugviskubit yfir tíðum ferðum til útlanda. Gunnar Jóhann Gunnarsson játaði að hafa orðið Gísla Þór Þorsteinssyni að bana þegar hann var handtekinn í norður Noregi á laugardag. Landsmenn þurfa að horfast í augu við það að þeir verða að draga úr losun frá flugi, segir Sigurður Thorlacius, umhverfisverkfræðingur hjá Eflu verkfræðistofu - en hann þjáist af flugviskubiti eftir að hafa farið margar ferðir til útlanda á síðasta ári.

Akihito er yfirleitt elskaður og dáður af þegnum sínum og valdtími hans er kenndur við frið. Krónprinsinn tók formlega við hásæti tryggðarblómsins á miðnætti að staðartíma.

Hann getur að hluta legið hjá foreldrum og því nær aðstoðin líka til foreldra. Þegar börn mæta ekki í skólann eða þola ekki við innan veggja skólans getur það verið vísbending um alvarleg vandamál.

Ett historiskt skifte äger rum i dagarna. Det är 200 år sedan en japansk kejsare senast lämnade sin post. Den första maj tillträder kronprins Naruhito som nummer 126 i raden i världens äldsta monarki. För att fira den nya kejsaren har japanerna i år fått en extra lång Golden Week - ledigheten som infaller i slutet av april och början av maj. Hela tio dagar firas det. Många passar förstås på att besöka Tokyo - huvudstaden har putsats och fejats i månader för att förbereda festligheterna.  Det formella trontillträdet sker dock först till hösten - så snart den nye kejsaren välsignat sin första risskörd.

A new emperor and a changing Japan? What this means to the US. TOKYO – Japan's future new emperor is a musician and historian who ascends the Chrysanthemum Throne on May 1. Japan's constitution limits the emperor to a symbolic role, and Naruhito is likely to emulate his father, 85-year-old Akihito. (PHOTO: FOX NEWS)

Op 30 april treedt de Japanse keizer Akihito af, hij is zogezegd oud en der dagen zat. Een dag later, op 1 mei, betreedt zijn opvolger de negen-en-vijftigjarige Naruhito de keizerstroon. Met de kersverse keizer breekt ook een nieuw keizerlijk tijdperk aan. De tijd van ‘harmonie bewerkstelligen’ vervangt de vorige periode, de tijd van de vrede. Japanoloog en hoogleraar in Leden, Ivo Smits komt vertellen over de betekenis van de keizer en de keizerlijke tijdvakken.

In 2016, Emperor Akihito announced he intended to step down from the throne because of his age and declining health.  Now, with just two weeks until Akihito’s son Naruhito becomes the country’s 126th emperor and with the name of the new Reiwa Era announced, Deep Dive asks: What does it mean to be Emperor of Japan, and what can we expect from the next person to sit atop the Chrysanthemum Throne?  Sakura Murakami joins Oscar Boyd to discuss. We had a lot of fun finding early Showa Era songs that run in the breaks in this episode. In order they were: * "Southern Bride" by Meiko Takamine * "Koiwa Umibe De" by Mitsuko Watanabe * "Sendo Kawaiya" by Kikutaro Takahashi Thanks to Dr. Kenneth Ruoff, author of several books on Japan's Imperial Family, for contributing to this podcast.

On May 1st, Japan's current Emperor Akihito is set to abdicate. As every Japanese emperor reigns in his own specific era, the post-Akihito era has been named Reiwa, promising a period of order and harmony. So, what will the Reiwa Imperial Era spell for Japan? Will it be an era of order and peace as the name suggests? In this episode, we'll be joined by SAGE International Australia's Prof. Purnendra Jain, our resident expert on Japan and Northeast Asia to discuss these issues.

Þótt hlutur kvenna í atvinnulífinu sé bættari nú en fyrir tuttugu árum, þurfa fleiri konur að veljast í stjórnunarstöður í einkageiranum. Þetta segir Rakel Sveinsdóttir, formaður Félags kvenna í atvinnulífinu, en félagið fagnar 20 ára afmæli sínu í vikunni. Konur eru enn í miklum minnihluta í stjórnum fyrirtækja og engin kona gegnir forstjórastöðu í fyrirtækjum á hlutabréfamarkaði. Einkageirinn sýnir nokkuð glöggt að glerþökin eru ekki brotin, og eru karlmenn í miklum meirihluta í stjórnunarstörfum þar, segir Rakel, sem var gestur Morgunvaktarinnar í morgun. Hún ræddi um stöðu kvenna í atvinnulífinu, starfsemi félagsins og hvernig það geti verið æskilegt fyrir stjórnendur að tileinka sér svokölluð kvenlæg gildi, hvort sem þeir séu karlar eða konur. Um næsta mánaðamót hefst nýtt tímabil samkvæmt hinu hefðbundna japanska tímatali, en þá afsalar Akihito, Japanskeisari til þrjátíu ára, sér völdum og sonur hans tekur við embætti. Akihito er fyrsti keisarinn í Japan sem afsalar sér krúnunni í meira en 200 ár. Málið hefur því vakið mikla athygli í Japan, og nafn hins nýja tímabils sem nú gengur í garð var kynnt í landinu á dögunum. Vera Illugadóttir fræddi okkur um þessi merkilegu tímamót í austri, hvert hlutverk og hver staða keisarans er í japönsku samfélagi og hvort til greina komi að kvenkyns erfingi taki einn daginn við krúnunni. Þrá brá Morgunvaktin sér norður yfir heiðar, en í Samkomuhúsinu á Akureyri var frumsýnt nýtt leikveirk í síðustu viku sem ber heitið Skjaldmeyjar hafsins. Verkið fjallar um eiginkonur sjómanna, hinar ónefndu hetjur hafsins, og þar er skyggnst inn í líf þriggja kvenna sem segja frá því hvernig þær fást við óvissuna, óttann og sorgina, í landi, þegar háska ber að á hafi úti. Verkið er svokallað beinheimildaverk en það er byggt á tíu viðtölum við eiginkonur sjómanna á norður- og austurlandi. Úlla Árdal ræddi við Jennýju Láru Arnórsdóttur leikstjóra verksins, og Jónínu Björk Árnadóttur, sem leikur eitt af aðalhlutverkum verksins. Tónlist: Doris Day - Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que será, será). Þokkabót - Litlir kassar.

Il Giappone è alla vigilia di una nuova era. Il nome che accompagnerà il regno dell'imperatore Naruhito sarà “Reiwa” i cui due ideogrammi significano “ordine” e “armonia”: lo ha annunciato il portavoce del governo giapponese. La nuova era avrà inizio ufficialmente il 1° maggio 2019 quando il Principe della Corona Naruhito ascenderà al trono per succedere al padre, l'attuale imperatore 85enne Akihito.Focus Storia ha chiesto a Giacomo Mannocci, costituzionalista, e autore del saggio “L'Imperatore” (Edizione Il Cerchio) di accompagnarci per mano in un mondo così diverso dal nostro.Curato e condotto da Francesco De Leo------------Ti piace la storia e vorresti ricevere Focus Storia comodamente a casa tua?

No one knows what is the name of the new era. On Monday, it will be revealed to the public through the media. Japanese Calender used the names Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei last four eras. The Meiji (enlightened rule) era of 1868-1912 is remembered as a period of western-inspired modernisation; the Showa (enlightened harmony) era, which began in 1926, is closely associated with Japan's economic rise, but also with its role in the second world war. How was the Heisei? I was born in Heisei five years. Japan's economy was declining(or say stop growing). Whatever. The first year of Heisei, consumption tax started at 3%. A quarter-century passed. The tax rate was inclining to 8% under Abe's policy. Heisei means "achieving peace". When I was two years old baby, Great Hansin-Awaji earthquake happened, more than six thousands people died. Two months later, Tokyo subway sarin attack killed 12 people, over 6,000 people injured and still struggling. "Armageddon will happen, you will be saved within us." The terrorist's message was shown. In the past, emperors would change era names mid-reign to foster a spirit of renewal after natural disasters or crises; more recently, a single era has been used to mark the entirety of a monarch's time on the Chrysanthemum throne. I think that earthquake or terrorism could be the one chance to change the name of new era?

Formerly Feudal Anime Podcast We are now Featured Anime Podcast. The beginning and the end were confusing and "Reasons" is the main explanation given for everything. Akihito is one of the main protags and he has a glasses fetish and this is mentioned and brought up at every point and it was a trope that was overplayed and they rely on to much. It had the potential to be a good story but the plot had too many unnecessary twists.

Pour le 100e épisode de Voix Express, un cadeau à la fois délicat et brutal, archaïque et ultramoderne, sévère mais qui parfois se lâche, à l'image de ce pays qui garde en prison le numéro 1 de Renault depuis plusieurs semaines, idolâtre un empereur et est solidement accroché à sa place de troisième économie mondiale, le Japon. L'Express lui consacre 20 pages, sur le vieillissement de sa population, le goût du saké, la place réduite des femmes ou les meilleurs jazzmen locaux. Un numéro signé Philippe Mesner et Charles Haquet, qui raconte - la justice, Shinzo Abe, le nationalisme, Akihito ou le faible #metoo. L'autre facette du Japon.

Acteur Kevin Spacey moet vandaag voor de rechter verschijnen omdat hij wordt verdacht van seksueel misbruik. Hij zou zich in juli 2016 in een bar zich hebben vergrepen aan de zoon van tv-presentatrice Heather Unruh.Het is een feestelijke dag vandaag in Japan, wel een feestelijke dag met een rouwrandje. Want de Japanse keizer Akihito zit sinds vandaag al dertig jaar lang op de troon. Het rouwrandje komt omdat hij dit jaar zal aftreden. Het wordt de eerste abdicatie van een Japanse keizer in tweehonderd jaar. Bijna alle keizers aan het eeuwenoude hof bleven tot hun dood op de troon, en daarom kwam een voortijdig aftreden nog niet voor in Japanse wetten.

Denis Vrain-Lucas was an undistinguished forger until he met gullible collector Michel Chasles. Through the 1860s Lucas sold Chasles thousands of phony letters by everyone from Plato to Louis the 14th, earning thousands of francs and touching off a firestorm among confused scholars. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll trace the career of the world's most prolific forger. We'll also count Queen Elizabeth's eggs and puzzle over a destroyed car.

Madeline Brumby joins Jim for a heartwarming look at one of the most beloved "Big Monster" films made. The legendary "Gojira" from 1954. The version was unseen by many Americans until 2004 when it was released in the USA. Not to be confused with Americanized version that cut several poignant scenes and added scenes shot in California. Join Jim and Madeline as they reflect on this powerfully artistic film that was nominated for a Japanese Academy Award for Best Picture - losing to "Seven Samurai."On this week's episode of "Monster Attack!"Hirata, Haruo Nakajima

The power vacuum left by the death of David Rockefeller has created a situation that, if not diffused, will lead to civil war in the USA and Japan, CIA, Pentagon and Japanese military intelligence sources say, The situation has reached the point where US military might march on Washington DC to do battle with the drug dealing faction of the CIA, Federal Reserve Board stooge politicians and their hired guns, the sources say. In Japan, meanwhile, the split is between US controlled forces based around the puppet government in Tokyo and nationalistic plus North Korean linked forces strongest in the Osaka region, Japanese military intelligence sources say. The de-facto abdication of the Japanese Emperor Akihito has created a power struggle over the Japanese throne, right wing sources close to the imperial family say. The Japanese right-wing block has been thrown into turmoil over revelations that Akihito was not the real son of Emperor Hirohito and was a proxy for David Rockefeller, they say. That is why a huge battle is raging over the succession with one group pushing for Crown Prince Naruhito, while other factions are pushing for

The ANC, the political party of Nelson Mandela, has barely lost a vote since the end of apartheid in 1994. Now it has lost control of several districts in municipal elections, in what's being called a tipping point in the nation's political history. Bill Corcoran reports from Johannesburg. Akihito, Emperor of Japan, is not allow to comment on Japanese politics or laws - including the law that established his own position. Therefore it was tricky for him to let the nation know that he'd quite like to retire at the age of 82, says David McNeill in Tokyo. And here in our Dublin studio, Ruadhan Mac Cormaic explains how a new selection process for U.N. Secretary General allows potential replacements for Ban Ki-moon to get the message and drop out with dignity, if they lack support - but there's still room for plenty of politicking over the crucial appointment.

Dessert…dessert…dessert is what Halli is serving up Wednesday, March 27, 3 pm ET on The Halli Casser Jayne Show, Talk Radio for Fine Minds.

Elizabeth was a young Quaker girl who fell happily in love and got married in 1929. “Morgan Vining, my husband, swept my little boat out of the shallows into the sunlit depths of life's stream and we had almost five years together before, in a single moment, he was gone.” Car wrecks happen quickly. Elizabeth Vining was adrift. A line from the Breton Fisherman's Prayer said it best, “Oh Lord, your sea is so great and my boat is so small.” Elizabeth became a schoolteacher who in the evening wrote children's books. Her most popular title was Adam on the Road (1942). Then, at the end of World War Two, 43 year-old Elizabeth Vining got a call. General Douglas MacArthur had decided not to charge Japan's Emperor Hirohito with war crimes. Instead, he asked that Elizabeth Vining become the tutor of Crown Prince Akihito, the emperor's son. Elizabeth accepted. Upon her arrival in Japan, she encountered a lonely 12 year-old boy whose eyes sparkled with “a hidden sense of humor.” As crown prince, Akihito lived separately from his parents. He saw them only once a week, for a one-hour meal together. The next 4 years were filled with English lessons, games of Hide and Seek, Monopoly and stories of Abraham Lincoln. The seeds of independent thinking were planted. Risk orientation. Individual effort and reward. Breaking the rules. Thinking outside the box. These ideas were profoundly unJapanese. In 1950, Elizabeth Vining returned quietly to the United States since Akihito's mastery of English was nearly as good as her own. Akihito's farewell gift to Mrs. Vining was a poem, written in his best calligraphy, about the birds returning to the Akasaka Palace Gardens after the war. Soon after the departure of Mrs. Vining, young Akihito met beautiful Michiko on the tennis court. In 1959, he broke 2,600 years of Japanese tradition by marrying Michiko, a commoner. And a Quaker woman from America was the only foreigner allowed to attend the wedding. But Akihito wasn't finished surprising the world. All Japan was stunned when he and Michiko announced they would raise their own children. Another 2,600 year-old tradition, shattered by the 125th emperor of Japan. Akihito's attitude gave freedom to other Japanese to begin thinking independently as well. Honda, Sony, Toyota, Mitsubishi and their amazing fruits of innovation sprouted from a single seed, planted by a Quaker widow. Vining opened the door in 1946. Deming walked through it in 1950. Elizabeth Vining lived to be 97 years old. And each year on her birthday, with all the precision and dependability we have come to expect from Japan, a limousine from the Japanese embassy would stop in front of her home as a tuxedoed ambassador delivered a giant bouquet of flowers. A simple woman quietly did her best, a young boy had a change of heart, and a nation opened the doors of its mind. It would appear that a small boat is able to cross a great sea. Roy H. Williams
