Following the abdication of his father, Akihito, Japan's new Emperor Naruhito received the Imperial sword as proof of succession.Emperor Naruhito of Japan has officially ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne, replacing his father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito, who abdicated a day prior. His enthronement Wednesday marks the official start of the"Reiwa" imperial era, but is the continuation of an unbroken dynastic line that stretches back 14 centuries.
Akihito, 85, stepped down in a brief ceremony at midnight on Tuesday, marking the end of the 30-year Heisei era. He is the first Japanese monarch to abdicate in more than 200 years, after Emperor Kokaku stepped down in 1817, also for his son. Traditionally the coronation ceremony has been a men's-only event—even Naruhito's wife, Empress Masako, did not witness it. But after a change in the rules to allow all cabinet ministers to attend, Satsuki Katayama, Japan's sole female cabinet member, was allowed to attend.
"I sincerely pray for the happiness of the people and the further development of the nation as well as the peace of the world," he added.
