Japanese rulers visiting U.S. cities on trip planned by cabinet. (Originated from Knight-Ridder Newspapers)
WASHINGTON _ You're the emperor of Japan and you've got a 16-day, 10-city tour of the United States to plan. What to do?
Whatever your government tells you.
The emperor, it must be said, has no say.
Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan begin a coast-to-coast trip Friday in Atlanta, their first visit as Their Imperial Majesties _ yet with a status much diminished since the days the heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne was considered a deity.
