[1/6] A chef cooks tofu as he prepares a dish before the opening for dinner hour at Ukai, a traditional Japanese restaurant, in Tokyo, Japan, July 6, 2023. "There's no doubt rising wages and bonuses are among factors prodding customers to come dine with us despite the price hikes," said Ukai manager Yuka Hoshino. It is also drawing the attention of the Bank of Japan (BOJ), which is shifting away from its view the recent cost-driven inflation will prove temporary. "Japan is seeing early signs of progress in achieving inflation accompanied by higher wages," another source said, a view echoed by two more sources. The BOJ is changing its tone on the drivers of inflation and how they see progress made in sustainably hitting 2% inflation.

[1/5] Japan's Emperor Naruhito accompanied with Empress Masako wave well-wishers as he appears on the balcony of the Imperial Palace to mark the emperor's 63th birthday in Tokyo Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023, in Tokyo. Eugene Hoshiko/Pool via REUTERSTOKYO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Japanese Emperor Naruhito on Thursday gave his first public birthday address since ascending the throne almost four years ago, after delays due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and urged support for people struggling with inflation and the pandemic. Naruhito, who turned 63, was crowned emperor on May 1, 2019, after his father Akihito became the first emperor to abdicate in two centuries. Public birthday appearances by the emperor are an annual tradition but the event had been suspended from 2020 due to the pandemic. "I feel very happy to have my birthday celebrated before the public for the first time," Naruhito said.
[1/5] Japan's Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako, former Japanese emperor Akihito and former empress Michiko appear before well-wishers during the traditional New Year's greeting ceremony by Japan's royal family at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on January 2, 2023. PHILIP FONG/Pool via REUTERSTOKYO, Jan 2 (Reuters) - Japan's Emperor Naruhito on Monday gave a New Year's address and greeted members of the public for the first time in three years as the country eases COVID-19 pandemic restrictions amid a year-end surge in infections. Naruhito, 62, was joined by other royals, including his wife, Empress Masako, 59, and his father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito, 89, who abdicated in 2019. About 9,600 people, split into six groups over the course of the day, were chosen by lottery to attend the New Year's event, a much smaller number than the tens of thousands that usually gather for the traditional royal greeting. Since the start of the pandemic, the country has registered about 30 million infections and almost 60,000 deaths.
Japonia l-a proclamat în mod oficial pe prinţul moştenitor Fumihito - care foloseşte după căsătoria sa din 1990 titlul de prinţul Akishino - drept ocupantul primului loc în ordinea de succesiune la Tronul Crizantemei, duminică, la un an şi jumătate după ce fratele lui mai mare, Naruhito, a devenit împărat, după abdicarea tatălui lor, Akihito, informează DPA. În cadrul unei ceremonii organizate la Palatul Imperial din Tokyo, împăratul Naruhito, care a urcat pe tron în mai 2019, l-a declarat pe Fumihito drept prinţ moştenitor al tronului Japoniei. Prinţul Fumihito este unul dintre cei doar trei moştenitori ai tronului, alături de Hisahito, în vârstă de 14 ani, şi de prinţul Hitachi, în vârstă de 84 de ani, fratele mai tânăr al împăratului emerit Akihito, potrivit Reuters. Femeile ca ea trebuie să renunţe la statutul lor de membru al casei imperiale dacă se căsătoresc cu bărbaţi din afara aristocraţiei. În aprilie 2019, împăratul Akihito a renunţat la tron, punând astfel capăt domniei sale de 30 de ani şi marcând prima abdicare înregistrată în ultimii 202 ani din istoria Japoniei.
