【英語】

Having previously succeeded to the Imperial Throne in accordance with the Constitution

of Japan and the Special Measures Law on the Imperial House Law.

I now perform theCeremony of Enthronement at the Seiden State Hall and proclaim my

enthronement to those at home and abroad.

 

I deeply reflect anew that for more than 30 years on the Throne, His Majesty the

Emperor Emeritus constantly prayed for the happiness of the people and world peace,

always sharing in the joys and sorrows of the people, and showing compassion through

his own bearing.

I pledge hereby that I shall act according to the Constitution and fulfill my responsibility

as the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people of Japan, while always wishing

for the happiness of the people and the peace of the world, turning my thoughts to the

people and standing by them.

 

I sincerely hope that our country, through our people’s wisdom and unceasing efforts,

achieves further development and contributes to the friendship and peace of the

international community and the welfare and prosperity of humankind.

 

 

MAHALO.
