天皇 or Tenno (or Sumeragi or sumerogi) ask me the difference mean Emperor, and if you remember this previous post on the anniversary of the character in question , it appears only 2 times and today was the second. In Japan, New Year's 3 public holiday so everyone is fresh and available (and has had time to rack) to see and hear.
This guy is as charismatic as the other emperor (the one that rings stamped with LSD and that everyone thinks) is demonic.
There were ten of speech under the program between 9h and 14h, very organized:
Jumped in the imperial gardens in the south side, Seimon- Ishibashi, check point for the search ( me and the guy behind me, we did not delve'm not ...) at Kokyo Gaien, then the field is divided into queues. Once a file is completed, it enters the imperial garden and piled up before the new palace. It is expected that all space is filled grosso modo between half-hour and 1 hour. I attended the speech at 11:50, we waited outside the officers asked the people who lined up to go have lunch and come back later. Lot of tourists, almost everyone with a small Japanese flag to wave (and making out!).
space before the palace is a mile square, so for 4 people m² being generous, that's 40,000 people with speech, both the number of presentations, I am sure the Emperor greeted at least a good half a million subjects.
Kokyo Gaien On leaving the checkpoint, the gardens and palace are to:
Wuhu one returns:
A view on queues and the check point, it's really crowd. There are checkpoints men, women, luggage, no baggage. I could not take the rows numbered before returning.
was a good time hanging around outside the building and finally it arrived, everyone was throwing Banzai continuous waving his flag. There were (in order), Princess Masako, Prince Naruhito, Emperor Akihito, Empress Michiko, Prince and Princess Akishino. Honestly even as gaikokujin, we're glad to see them appear, it has another face that the President's wishes.
I'll put a video seen more excitement patriot who led the tide flag when Akihito spoke and greeted the crowd. I grasped that some words of greeting to the emperor, they were quite general and for good reason, the speech that lasted about 15 seconds! Nevertheless the people were very happy. I felt he did not know if the Emperor was still there, and that his appearance was reassured. Phew, it's there for a moment I was afraid.
Great jubilation So then he goes back behind the sliding panel, and the people are gone, north door this time.
Yes there on the spot ticket sounds hollow but I put the video promised promised, but now that you're there you can anyway end result right? Link at right for more photos!
Yes, yes, there were people ...
By cons big disappointment, imperial gardens are open, you can cross them, but apart from the new palace we see nothing of the speaker of the imperial palace. There are two more near palaces, three temples, gardens immense but not accessible ... I was very disappointed. There is another view of the garden is, we see the moat and vegetation, but otherwise nothing really cultural. Fortunately, the 2 minutes of waiting and atmosphere are worth the trip.
Not very happy with the ticket, not easy to account for the mood with photos (taken by advancing at the same time because the world), I'm getting better for the future.
