... Plus One! #020 The colour only allowed for the Emperor

This is the attire that His Majesty dressed in the morning of 30 April.
30 April is the last time that we see His Majesty in such attire.
This is the topic of Heisei's last "Plus One!".

"What is the colour only allowed for the Emperor, and what is the meaning embedded in it ..."

〕 Sakurai
"Here are the group of structures called The Three Palace Sanctuaries.
His Majesty the Emperor held the ceremony of reporting his abdication here."

The attire that His Majesty the Emperor dressed in is Korozen no goho.
Used in important ceremonies, since ancient times, it is an attire with the colour that only the Emperor can put on.

Korozen no goho is decorated with paulownia, bamboo, phoenix, and kirin.
It is said that this yellowish brown colour has special meaning.

"It is the attire called Korozen no goho dressed in by the Emperor Meiji."

What is the meaning of this yellowish brown color that is only allowed to be put on by emperors?

〕Gakushuin University Museum of History, Researcher Tanaka Jun
"It is said that the colour symbolises the colour that the Sun shines when it is at the highest place."

While, we can see that the colours of the Oni no ho dressed in by the Crown Emperor and the Korozen no goho dressed in by His Majesty the Emperor are different.
The colour "oni" represents the colour of the morning sun that started to rise.

While the Crown Prince would soon ascend the throne, rather than inheriting the same Korozen no goho from His Majesty, a new one would be made instead.
It is likely that we may see the Korozen no goho of the Crown Prince for the first time during the ceremony on 8 May that he reports the dates of the Enthronement Ceremony to the Sun Goddess, Ancestral Spirits, and Kamis.

The Crown Prince would ascend the throne on 1 May, these are the scheduled ceremonies of the new His Majesty the Emperor.

From around 10:30, there would be the Kenji to Shokei no Gi.

This would be the first ceremony held by the new His Majesty the Emperor in which he would inherit two of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan, the sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi and the jewel Yasakani no Magatama, as well as the Privy Seal and the State Seal.

And then, from around 11:10, there would be the Sokui go Choken no Gi.

This is the ceremony that the new Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress would meet for the first time the representatives of the citizens.

Masako-sama would be seen as the new Empress publicly for the first time.
And, the new Emperor would make his first address.
