A national holiday in Japan, December 23rd is a day for celebrating the Emperor's Birthday - by a throng of Japanese (and just as many tourists!) - who flock see the Emperor on this special day.
Banners, flags, well wishes, and a special address by the Emperor himself usually mark the occasion.
The day is also traditionally observed by the entire imperial family who smile and wave back at adoring crowds from the window of their official home at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
The national holiday, called tenno no tanjobi, changes to celebrate the birthday of each new Emperor who "rules." Since today the seat of empire only extends to the Japanese islands, the role of modern Emperor is solely a ceremonial one in Japan.
The country is now a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary government similar to Great Britain, but the tradition of Emperor is still very important symbolically to the Japanese, and the person who holds the seat still very much beloved.
