DESCRIPTION:The year 2019 marks a new era for Japan\, with the abdication o
 f Emperor Akihito ending the three-decade Heisei era. On May 1\, Emperor N
 aruhito took the throne\, succeeding his father and ushering in a new impe
 rial era\, Reiwa. While Japan's constitution gives the emperor only symbol
 ic status\, the emperor and imperial family continue to have a powerful cu
 ltural significance for Japan. What is the role of the emperor in Japan to
 day? In this program\, Ken Ruoff\, the leading authority on the imperial h
 ouse in Japan\, shares his expertise on the Japanese imperial system\, the
  postwar evolution of the monarchy\, and the emperor's role in Japanese so
 ciety.
