(2 Jan 2017) Japanese Emperor Akihito, accompanied by Empress Michiko and the royal family, gave his well wishes for the new year as he greeted a crowd in Tokyo on Monday.
Thousands gathered at the Imperial Palace as Akihito made an appearance on the balcony and waved to the crowds.
His annual New Year greeting is one of a few occasions for the Emperor to make a public speech.
The 83-year-old indicated his wish to abdicate last year, citing concerns that his age and health conditions may start limiting his ability to fulfill his duties.
A government-commissioned panel of experts is discussing a possibility of enacting a special law allowing his abdication, without touching more controversial issues, such as an option of allowing a female emperor, and how to address concerns of a shortage of successors to the Chrysanthemum throne.
