On August 15, 2026, 81 years after the end of World War II, the government-sponsored National Memorial Ceremony for the War Dead was held at Nippon Budokan in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan in attendance. At the ceremony, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako approached the memorial marker for the war dead and observed a moment of silence.
In his address, the Emperor emphasized the importance of continuing to pass down the hardships experienced during and after the war to future generations. He expressed his heartfelt wish that everyone would come together and continue to seek peace and the happiness of all people for generations to come.
The Emperor and Empress have long believed in the importance of passing on to future generations the tragic experiences and hardships endured by people during and after the war. Last year, they took their eldest daughter, Princess Aiko, with them on visits to Okinawa and Nagasaki, among other places.

Remember the men who scarified so much for their country. So nice to see the Imperial couple give them the respect they are due. The Empress Masako looks very elegant.

The Japanese were the ennemy of the allied forces during WWII.
حذفLike in every war, the civilians and the simple habitants of the fighting countries were the people who suffered the most. There is that saying :"in a war there are no conquerors only victims".
She looks very elegant and quietly dignified. This deep grey color is very attractive. I love her outfit, so stylish. Her black shoes on this occasion. This outfit was perfect for this event, very distinguished looking.
ردحذفTo think how much the relationship between Japan and the West has changed since that war! The empress is wearing one of her many trompe l'oeil hats. Whoever worked out this style to make her appear shorter than her husband was very clever!
ردحذفChaque année, le couple impérial nous montre invariablement ce genre de tenue sur le même fond fleuri !
ردحذفAlways elegant. Always dignified.
ردحذفIt’s good to remember and acknowledge those souls lost to conflict. TIM’s did so with such reverence and grace.
Lowri.
Annon 9:52 Yes, they were the enemy. Dec 7- 1941 Pearl Harbor Day, who can forget. You are right there are no winners in war, never have been or will be.
