1 JIPANPRPERTELS 0 ENTHRONENENT Vivid Description Given in Handsome Volume That Appears in U. S. - | A fascinating _account of the en- thronement of His Imperial Majesty Hirohito, the 124th Emperor of Japan, | and an engaging description and inter- pretation of the rites attending the notable event, are contained in the “en- | thronement edition” of the Japan Ad-| vertiser, a leading newspaper of the Orient, copies of which recently hlvel made their appearance in this country The volume, printed on a fine grad of glazed paper and handsomely bound | in purple linen, is the work of Benja- min W. Fleisher, publisher and editor | of the Advertiser. | The work is dedicated “to the many | who are interested in the promotion of international peace through the inter- pretation and advancement of a more correct understanding of the aims, as- pirations and ideals of the people of one nation to the peoples of other na- tions.” Compared to Symphony. “The accession to the throne" the work comments. “has been compared by a learned anthropologist of Tokio to a symphony in three movements. The first of these occurred in the early darkness of Christmas morning, 1926, | when, immediately the reigning Em- peror had died, his eldest son presented himself at the Imperial Shrine and as- sumed the privileges and responsibili- ties of the throne and in prayer inform- ed his ancestors of the act. “Later in the day, the formal cere- mony of transferring to his possession the imperial regalia of mirror, sword | and jewels was carried out. The sec-| ond movement was the enthronement in the old palace at Kyoto on Novem- ber 10, 1928. The Emperor again wor- shiped before his ancestors, and an- nounced to them his accession to the | throne that they in their day occupied, and appeared as Emperor before the Tepresentatives of the foreign powers | and the Japanese nation. The last, most | solemn, most mysterious, most primi- | tive movement took place in the night { between November 14 and 15. It was | in essence a_ sacrifice of first-fruits to | the ancestral Sun Goddess and an act | of mystic communion with her. It was performed in & plain wooden hut by the Emperor himself after elaborate cere- | monies of purification. Simplicity was set in a gorgeous frame, and the peror, in his solitary vigil, was guarded and surrounded by the highest of the land. Thereafter came state banquets, ritual and state dances of incredible an- tiquity, acts of worship at various shrines, and on November 27 the re- turn to Tokio.” Each Phase Interpreted. Under separate headings, each phase | of the mystic, colorful ceremony is | described and interpreted. The volume is 119 pages of reading matter, replete with illustrations, the chief one being a reproduction in color of an al woodblock print of “Himeji Castle,” home of the Emperor and Empress, by Hirosho Yoshida, who is known as the father of modern color print work in Japan. ?-’h'é chapter headings suggest the wealth of historical and descriptive | mattér found in the volume: “Sacred | Fields Selected for Cultivation of Rice for Daljo-Sai” (the great feast which the Emperor shares with “Rice Planting Ceremony, Dancing of the Peasants” “Harvesting of Sacred Rice Conducted According to Fixed Ritual” “When the Kashiko- Dokoro Passed in Colorful Pageant to Kyoto,” “Mystic Rites of Shinto In- voking Aid of ‘National Deities,” “The Great Food Festival and Significance of the Daljo-Sal,” “Symbols of Sovereignty Are Treasured Gifts From Sun God- ‘Ceremonies and Festivals Ob- served Yearly by the Imperial Court,” “Court Musicians’ History Goes Back More Than a Thousand Years” and others. { Personality Is Pictured. | A study of the personality of the| young Emperor—he is only 29—is the subject of an article contributed by Count Yoshinori Futara. “Considera- tlon of others is the outstanding trait| of his majesty,” he writes. | A congratulatory- message sent to the | Emperor by President ‘Coolidge on be- | half of the people of the United States is given ?rcmlnent place in a repro- duction of messages from the heads of nations with which the volume con- cludes. “Couched &s they necessarily and | international friendships.” | In a statement congratulating the| an Advertiser on “interpreting the spirit of Japan as revealed in these ceremonies,” J. Tanako, premier, said: “I have no doubt that the Japanese people will make every effort -in-the future to contribute to the development +of a higher clvilization and to the main- tenance of world peace, inspired by lhu‘ spirit of Japan which springs from the historic national unity of the Japanese people.” Now- Widow Rewed Scant 4-Days Ere Scorned Suitor Slays Mate By the Assoclated Press.
