Japanese Chrysanthemum Throne continues to blossom...
The first male heir to be born into the ancient imperial family for more than forty years, has secured the future of the oldest monarchy in the world, the Japanese throne. Named seven days after his birth on September 6 in Tokyo, the prince has put an end to a succession crisis. The government was pressing ahead with legislation to allow a woman to succeed to the throne as a reigning empress. His name Hisahito means "virtuous, calm and everlasting". During his naming ceremony,a court official wrote the baby's name on special rice paper with brush and ink and placed it along with his personal crest in a wooden box next to the new prince's pillow. The crest, a stylized Japanese umbrella pine, will be used to mark Hisahito's belongings.
