Japan's Empress Masako (2nd R) walks towards Yukiden, one of the two main halls of Daijokyu, where Daijosai ritual of great thanksgiving takes place, at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on November 14, 2019. Japan's new Emperor Naruhito will perform an elaborate and secretive ritual on November 14, 2019 dating back 1,300 years, giving thanks to the Sun Goddess Amaterasu as part of his enthronement rites. The Daijosai, considered the most important ritual in Japan's imperial tradition, comes three weeks after Naruhito proclaimed his ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne and is performed only once in an emperor's reign.
