Japan's new Emperor Naruhito ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne and thus marking the beginning of Reiwa era.
About:
The 59-year old Naruhito took the throne after Akihito's abdication, the first in more than 200 years.
He is the nation’s 126th emperor in the world’s oldest hereditary monarchy from the 5th century.
Akihito (85), took the throne in 1989 and devoted his career to making amends for a war fought in his father’s name while bringing the aloof monarchy closer to the people. He is the first emperor in Japan’s modern history whose era did not have a war.
Japan has witnessed a tumultuous change from 1989 when it last ushered in a new era. Now, Japan is battling sluggish growth and chronically low inflation with a population in decline that will soon become the world's first "ultra-aged" society, with 28 percent of people over 65.
