I strongly feel the importance of repeatedly holding dialogue to overcome differences in stances and working together with others in the international community.

Empress Masako, Emperor Maruhito and, Princess Aiko with a lock of her black hair cascading down the left side of her face, look a very happy family. With readers of Japan Today, I wish Japan's Emperor, Empress and Princess a Very Happy New Year, 2023.

Oh, and why not open the Crown to women? We are not inferior to men!
