For anyone who's curious, the square box contains the jewel Yasakani-no-Magatama and the long box contains the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, two of the Three Sacred Treasures which the new emperor is taking formal possession of after they were relinquished by his father the day before. Possessing a majority of these treasures is all that is necessary to distinguish a descendent of Amaterasu as emperor, and thus he is displaying them here before the government ministers. The objects have a front and a back, hence they are rotated so that the minsters can properly 'see' them. The two small pouches contain the Privy Seal and Great Seal of Japan, which are man-made objects that represent the Emperor's political power and reflect his role as earthly leader, as opposed to the Treasures which are divinely-crafted artifacts that represent the Emperor's divine providence and reflect his role as leader of the Shinto religion. Hence he just buggered off without the seals at the end, because the Emperor does not exercise political power but rather leaves that to his government ministers (indeed, the Emperor is constitutionally forbidden from any political speech or involvement other than that which is required by the Constitution or permitted by it for the Government to demand of him). The other Treasure is the mirror Yata-no-Kagami, the most holy of the three, which will be ritually presented to the Emperor along with the other two during his Enthronement Ceremony later this year. This is not the Emperor's enthronement, contrary to what the video title suggests, it's merely his accession. All three Treasures will also be concealed at the Enthronement Ceremony, and if anyone gets to see them at all, it will only be the Emperor and maybe a priest. This is unlikely, however, as the Emperor Emeritus has previously mentioned that he has never seen the sword, so exposure of the Treasures is presumably not part of the Enthronement Ceremony.
Viviane Venancio I wonder what Brazil would be like if it still had an emperor, the last emperor freed slaves and was overthrown by the slave owning aristocracy and I see a sort of irony in that.
This is just the first of three ceremonies and is the simplest. The more lavish ceremony will be the actual Enthronement and will be carried out on the 22nd of October.
The last enthronement was so beautiful. I can't wait for this one. I only hope the floors won't be so noisy when walked upon with the shoes the Imperial family wears.
@@uwuloluwu u gotta understand their debt isn't like the debt Greece had or what USA owes to China. Their debt is internal and they owe it to their own people meaning they have more ways to deal with it.
Ser Lawrence Harlem The 4 items represent the 3 regalias of Japan, Basically heavenly items given to them by the goddess amaterasu. Passed down from generations of the Royal family to generations. These are replicas though, because the real ones are hidden and protected. One is the sword, The other is a jewel. And the two small pouches have royal seals inside. The third regalia is actually a mirror, but they did not use that for this ceremony.
Regarding the sacred items, is already explained by someone below. And the ceremony on this video is rather a political part based on the constitution of Japan, and the traditional part is going to be very meaningful for Japanese people and nation. Historically speaking, our Emperor have being holding not only the power (sometimes lost "actual power" manipulated by a Shogun government) but also holding the highest authority for Shinto (Japan's indigenous religion -> please check Japanese mythology if interested). In the past, our Emperor(s) was sometimes a puppet sometimes a leader depends on Eras, however was always like the "greatest brand". That is why none of Samurai leaders/Shoguns (≒ Kings, they had their own territories/countries and castles) had never tried to defeat the Emperor, instead used (abused) the Imperial Authority (and the "Emperor's certificate") to rule Japan. It was more clever and gentle approach than defeating the Emperor, invoking hatred by commoners, leading to an unstable government. And here I wouldn't mention the importance/unimportance of tradition since it's not necessarily related to Japan, and every person has different opinions.
The emporer’s presence is so gentle and reassuring. Sometimes when I experience anxiety I like to watch him on RUclips and somehow feel I will be ok when I see the emporers soothing presence in a room.
we Japanese are very proud of our EMPEROR who pray only peace with harmony this ceremony is based on long tradition even for Japanese this is quite impressive
@@d_1012 Now you see a simple ceremony in which the new emperor accepts this new role. But the next half year he has to done many 1200 year old shinto ceremonies in which becomes a kind of link between the people and the Japanese Gods. After this is done there will be a very old public ceremony in traditional dresses. Very solemn very grand.

@Bella Figura Japan has been an empire for thousands of years and has been a monarchy government since the first emperor of Japan took power. Akihito's father was the Emperor of Japan back when I was born in that country about 35 years ago and he was also the emperor of Japan during World War II as well. Now it's Akihito's son's turn to take the throne since Akihito is getting very old and could die soon. So Akihito is going to allow his son to take over the throne as he retires his duties as Emperor of Japan. Plus Kristie Rockwill is right politicians do the same as well.

Craig A Bowers According to a site I found, the "little gifts" are ancient symbols (a sword, mirror, and jewel) that are only seen by the priests and the Emperor, which is why they are wrapped up.
This is just the "politcal" ceremony marking the official start of a new emperor, the formal ceremonies with all the traditional fanfare will be in October.
The square box contains the jewel Yasakani-no-Magatama and the long box contains the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, two of the Three Sacred Treasures which the new emperor is taking formal possession of after they were relinquished by his father the day before.

The items have a front and back side, even though nobody can see them. They're being rotated so that they face the audience before the Emperor, and must then be rotated back around so that they face the front when they're taken out. This ceremony is about the new Emperor taking possession of the items and displaying them before the government ministers to demonstrate his accession.
What the hell is this ? No words all silent except footsteps stamped on the wooden floor, at the end, the officials bowed to the empty chair before completing the ceremony which took just couple of minutes
Isn't that the lad that wanted to give up his title so he could marry the "commoner" love of his life? The family were like "nooooooo, we will change tradition, so you can marry her."
Curious about the symbolic nature of bowing to an empty throne, for me if you bow to nothing then you'll bow to anything so i'm hoping there's more to it.

@@graphiteandglitter No worries, I really couldn't help myself ... "there's always one" and this time it was me ;D
Some details are needed here, I think. Can somebody tell me exactly what was going on here? Specifically the ceremony with the cloth-wrapped items.
The square box contains the jewel Yasakani-no-Magatama and the long box contains the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, two of the Three Sacred Treasures which the new emperor is taking formal possession of after they were relinquished by his father the day before. Possessing a majority of these treasures is all that is necessary to distinguish a descendent of Amaterasu as emperor. The two small pouches contain the Privy Seal and Great Seal of Japan, which are simply man-made objects rather than divinely-crafted religious artifacts, hence the Emperor just buggered off without them at the end.
The other Treasure is the mirror Yata-no-Kagami, the most holy of the three, which will be ritually presented to the Emperor along with the other two during his Enthronement Ceremony later this year. This is not the Emperor's enthronement, contrary to what the video title suggests, it's merely his accession. All three Treasures will also be concealed at the Enthronement Ceremony, and if anyone gets to see them at all, it will only be the Emperor and maybe a priest. This is unlikely, however, as the Emperor Emeritus has previously mentioned that he has never seen the sword, so exposure of the Treasures is presumably not part of the Enthronement Ceremony.
What is the significance of the 180 degree rotation of the various items presented to the emperor?
The items have a front and back side, even though nobody can see them. They're being rotated so that they face the audience before the Emperor, and must then be rotated back around so that they face the front when they're taken out. This ceremony is about the new Emperor taking possession of the items and displaying them before the government ministers to demonstrate his accession.
