In the artist’s own words: “I was visiting Tokyo on the Emperor’s birthday. Japanese people came to visit him and the Imperial Family to celebrate at The Inner Palace, which is only open two days a year. The Emperor thanked the public and relayed his concern about Japanese Military Legislation raised by Shinzō Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan. The public there agreed with emperor’s concern. I took this photo when the Emperor came out, and the crowds raised the flag and waved.”
