>According to Japan's traditional order of succession, he is the 125th member of the world's oldest reigning dynasty. The Japanese government announced in December 2017 that Akihito would abdicate on 30 April 2019 due to his age and declining health.[2]
How will (you) celebrate the graceful abdication of Emperor Akihito?

The day of the abdication of Emperor Akihito is a public holiday in Japan.
I'll celebrate at my home with Japanese sake and sushi dinner :3
I actually feel sad that our emperor will abdicate , and I wish that he will be our emperor forever
But it is impossible...
any Republican here? not a fan of monarchy albeit l do respect the Emperor
There is nothing to celebrate.
He should be beheaded like all monarchs.
is there still a nobility? I asume that with the huge amount of concubines the emperors had there a lot of people that descend from them
Says the subject of a foreign queen
There were many nobility in Japan.
Most Japanese nobility people were relatives or distant relatives of Japanese emperors.
But GHQ (General Headquarters / the allies) banned to keep Japanese nobility.
Makes it more justified.
but they still exist and have records of their ancestry, right?

>any Republican here?
Kinda, Swiss are anti-monarchist per default, albeit we have no problems with foreign kings & queens doing holidays here.
>the same day hitler died
Are japanese people in Jow Forums real japanese men or just english teachers living in Japan?
why dont we see japanons often?
Eidgenossenschaft woahhhh
You aren't a Japanese.
Fuck off and kill yourself.
>died
offed himself like a gutless wonder, after killing his missus*
Yes
And a part of relatives of the Japanese emperor seems to prepare to be the imperial Household of Japan because the Japanese imperial family has few prince.
(Now, there is only one prince in Japan)
But it's necessary to amend the Japanese law that they become to be the member of the Japanese imperial family.
>the world's oldest reigning dynasty
I hope Ethiopia reistalls monarchy soon so the Nips stop being smug.
there are some in japanese general thread
whoever makes bait threads are loser gaijins in japan
I'm Japanese
But many Japanese flags are not Japanese on Jow Forums
They are English teacher or foreign posters who use proxy or VPN
This is the reason why Australians are called shit posters on this board.
l will defenestrate yuo!
Post small dick and we'll believe
I don't have it
me neither!
basically only members of the imperial family are counted as nobility in modern japan, which make up six families. akihito's family and his sons' families (crown prince's and his brother akishino-miya's families). and the rest are his brother's and cousins' families, which is, hitachino-miya, mikasano-miya, and takamadono-miya.
some of those reduced to commoners after the ww2 still have tangible/intangible influences though. they still have a lot of connections that bring cushy (honorary) posts. and they often own foundations to preserve their heritage.
Thanks for the info.
I wish my country also had a king... long live the goryeo dynasty!
By giving him a mickey mouse watch and making him promise that he'd wear it to his grave
>Please cuck me, my master!
>Not wanting a Buddhist monarchy
Thats why your country will be never a superpower
Hey Japanese dudes, is all that stuff I heard about you guys believing your emperor to be an actual demigod real?
I think Meiji(明治天皇) was the best Emperor
what do Japanese think about that?
Rate my HOI4 Japanese Shogunate game.
I think so desu
Because if they would have been not demigods, Japan had not be able to exist for 2000 years.
I feel that Japan and Japanese are protected by gods.
I think the greatest emperor is the Emperor Jimmu
He was the first emperor of Japan
vomit inducing ugly borders I see
I tried to fix them but nothing I could do.
the arahitogami (living god) concept is really artificial and it was a thing only during the imperial period
a lot of good things took place in his reign. he knew well about constitutional monarchy unlike Abdülhamid ii and Empress Dowager Cixi, who were his contemporary rulers in the possibe great powers
I know it's just goi4 being itself, no worries
honestly it is very impressive how he turned a backwards feudal society into a powerful empire in a couple decades
especially if you compare Japan to China who were arguably the most powerful country in the world in the 18th century. they refused to modernize and rejected foreign inventions and institution and as a result fell behind, losing more and more power until the European powers were shitting all over them, even Japan joined in taking bites out of China
>honestly it is very impressive how he turned a backwards feudal society into a powerful empire in a couple decades
he was pretty much out of practical power and modernization of Japan was sheerly promoted by the Meiji oligarchy. that being said he surely functioned as a matchmaker between the oligarchy and the political parties, making political process greatly smooth. above all his presence (deitized by the oligarchy) surely served as integration of Japan as a nation state.
en.m.wikipedia.org
>refused to modernize and rejected foreign inventions and institution
AKSHUALLY they did, until the 1st sino-japanese war they had the most advanced army in Asia, but it was nothing more than just an introduction of western technology
en.m.wikipedia.org
after the defeat they tried to follow the Meiji Restoration(drastic reform of political system), it got frustrated by the reactionary faction
en.m.wikipedia.org
and they tried to renovate themselves yet one more under the Guanxgu Emperor, but it was too late
en.m.wikipedia.org
Meiji Japan is just a miracle, even l sometimes find her so fucking great
I won't celebrate because abdication is a dereliction of duty, I have no respect for a monarch that abdicates.
thanks for the history lesson, I'm not that familiar with Asian history
also didn't Cixi doom China's modernization, stopping reforms and siding with the Boxers? I feel like a lot of what happened was her fault...
Those politically and military reforms were not done by the Meiji emperor.
Those were done by former Samurais and nobility people and part of ordinary people.
The Japanese emperors had been not had power, the only thing that they had was authority.
And that is same as now.
The emperors of Japan lost power long before and they were not able to get back it.
>I'm not that familiar with Asian history
t'es pas Orientaloid apres tout...
>also didn't Cixi doom China's modernization, stopping reforms and siding with the Boxers? I feel like a lot of what happened was her fault...
exactment, the Chinese modernization can be categorized into the three stages, and it was the 2nd one(Hundred Days' Reform) that she fucked up, for the reformation involved Chinese despotism, which endangered her political life. Cixi akshually initially sided with the Boxers, but the moment she came to know the rebellion was obvious to fall, she betrayed them and surpressed them with the Eight-Nation Alliance. 2bh the Boxers were the true patriots, their slogan was "扶清滅洋(help Qing, obliterate the West). l think it was the 1st time in their history that they clearly tied together beyond ethnic confrontation. their idea was inherited by Sun Wen's Five Ethnicity conception, so they didn't die in vain... well anyways she was such a opportunist
also here's the current-then strongest Chinese navy in Asia
Japan needs Robespierre ASAP
Sun Yat-sen Japanese version would be cool
>of a foreign queen
What a dumb meme. Aussies are Anglos.
post cunt
Based
tu veux que je poste ma genitale...?
If nips can somehow upload his consciounes into one of their giant mechs their emperor would live on forever (and destroy the USA for hiroshima and Nagasaki)
Do Japanese have a spare prince for us? I want monarchy to be restored here
Me. I don't hate the monarchy but I don't think that people should be born into power.
oui si t'es une fille
Sorry, but answer is No
Japan is severe shortage of princes
There is only one next generation prince in Japan
so something like dictatorship? or somekinda weird republic like the roman lol
arent you guys still very communist? judging by your national emblem
sure! renaissance of Polotsk!
based
bah... tu peux poster ta bite d'abbord? Lady First ...
>arent you guys still very communist? judging by your national emblem
Living in the dictatorship taught me that authoritarian monarchy is the best way forward. (Not memeing.)
>bah... tu peux poster ta bite d'abbord? Lady First ...
I want to revive Shah Ismail and restore Safavid Empire
>Living in the dictatorship taught me that authoritarian monarchy is the best way forward. (Not memeing.)

La Chine en siècle 19 est juste pathétique, elle est perdu la dignité au tant que papa d'Orient.
Japan played a big role and earned "good boy" points at the Boxer rebellion to get good reputation from the West and was called "policeman of the Far East", and it eventually led to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance...
why not just depose them then?
>Article 1
>The High Contracting parties, having mutually recognised the independence of China and Korea, declare themselves to be entirely uninfluenced by aggressive tendencies in either country, having in view, however, their special interests, of which those of Great Britain relate principally to China, whilst Japan, in addition to the interests which she possesses in China, is interested in a peculiar degree, politically as well as commercially and industrially in Korea, the High Contracting parties recognise that it will be admissible for either of them to take such measures as may be indispensable in order to safeguard those interests if threatened either by the aggressive action of any other Power, or by disturbances arising in China or Korea, and necessitating the intervention of either of the High Contracting parties for the protection of the lives and properties of its subjects.
>Article 2
>Declaration of neutrality if either signatory becomes involved in war through Article 1.
ah, the "let's fuck China and Korea" agreement lol
I wish we had a monarch. Getting rid of the house of Assburger-Lothringen was a mistake.
Defenestration means nothing in Ethiopian mud huts.
yees, angloid intended the Alliance to be more of a deterrent against south-progressing Russia though. it was called "the backbone of the Japanese imperial diplomacy" and greatly helped pumping Japan to the great power. obrigato anglo lmao
what do you mea?
A part of Samurai tried to take away by force their authority from the Japanese emperors.
But they were not able to do it, as the Samurai who had the greatest power decided to be subordinate to the emperor of Japan.
He thought that it was better to use authority of emperors than destroying them.
fenester means window in latin
defestration is the act of throwing someone out of a window ( apparantly done so often in europe a name is needed for it )
(side note: autodefenestration is the act of throwing yourself out of a window)
then why did you say defenestration means nothing if defenestratron means something?
ah, I see
it's kinda like what happened in China in the end of the Han dynasty, with the Emperor just being a puppet to whatever court faction was the most powerful
until that smart ass Cao Pi decided to declare himself the Emperor that is, then whenever a Chinese Emperor got too weak he'd get usurped and this started the revolving door of dynasties that is China's history
lol, the 19th century was pretty much just the great powers constantly trying to cuck eachother diplomatically by arranging whatever alliances they could
The threat is empty if the house is only one floor...
yeah law of the jungle apres tout
>Cao Pi
did 曹植 Cao Zhi appear in the tv series?

yes, yes he does...
