Japan’s Heisei era will end on April 30 with the abdication of Emperor Akihito. The head of the oldest continuous hereditary monarchy in the world, he is the first Emperor of Japan to abdicate in more than 200 years. Ascending the throne at 55, following the 1989 death of his father, the Emperor and his wife, Empress Michiko, the first commoner to join the Imperial Household, created a new style for the Imperial Family. The couple attached great importance to meeting the Japanese people, traveling twice to all 47 prefectures. They also actively sought opportunities to offer comfort in times of disaster and interact with the socially vulnerable. An advocate for peace - the term 'Heisei' means 'achieving peace' - the Emperor surprised many in 2016 when he announced his concerns regarding his future ability to fully carry out his duties. A special law was enacted to allow his abdication. He will be succeeded by his son, Crown Prince Naruhito.

18 MAY: Princess Mako of Japan has become the second member of the imperial family to surrender her royal status to marry a commoner. In 2005, her aunt and the only daughter of Emperor Akihito, Princess Sayako, was the first to leave the palace and be stripped of her royal title. After Emperor Akihito hinted last year that he might abdicate, the future of the Japanese imperial family is further complicated by this engagement.
