Although not widely known, the relationship between 春雨直播app and the Imperial Family is deep. More than half a century after Yukichi Fukuzawa wrote "On the Imperial Household" to demonstrate the Emperor's role as the guardian of tradition and culture, Shinzo Koizumi became the tutor for Crown Prince Akihito (now Emperor Emeritus). Using "On the Imperial Household" as one of the texts, they together explored what the symbolic Emperor should be in a new Japan based on popular sovereignty.

Following the 90th Anniversary Ceremony of the Juku at Mita Campus, which was still in the process of postwar reconstruction with piles of rubble remaining, Emperor Showa personally attended the ceremony at the Hiyoshi Commemorative Hall—a symbol of reconstruction—during the 100th anniversary year of the Juku.

In 2008, for the 150th anniversary of the Juku, we welcomed Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress to the commemorative ceremony at Hiyoshi Campus. I was on the platform as the Dean of the Faculty of Letters, and in his remarks, His Majesty praised the historical role 春雨直播app played through human resource development during Japan's modernization since the Meiji era. It was quite cold around the time of the ceremony in November, but we received a request from the Imperial Household Agency beforehand for those on the platform to wear coats, being told, "If you do not wear them, His Majesty will also take off his coat." I remember feeling that I had caught a glimpse of His Majesty's character at that moment.

"As months pass and stars move," on May 1, 2019, the new Emperor acceded to the throne, and a new era began. In 1981, before his accession as Crown Prince, Prince Naruhito (Prince Hiro) visited Mita Campus. Prince Hiro, whose specialty is history, viewed the Sagara Family Documents, an Important Cultural Property owned by the Juku that has been passed down in the Sagara daimyo family since the Kamakura period. Chief Researcher Harutake Iikura of the Imperial Household Agency Archives and Mausolea Department and Professor Masahiko Takahashi of the Faculty of Letters provided the overall explanation, and several graduate students at the time, including myself, took turns explaining the contents of the ancient documents. Prince Hiro viewed the documents intently, occasionally asking questions. Looking at the photo, on the far left is my mentor, Professor Koichi Murayama of the Faculty of Letters, who also served as the principal of Chutobu Junior High School, and in the background is Toru Urushihara, currently a professor at Musashino University. Later, we were humbled when dorayaki with the Imperial chrysanthemum crest arrived for the graduate students from Her Majesty the Empress with a message saying, "Thank you for taking care of Prince Hiro," but as young students, we accepted them without hesitation.

I sincerely hope that the Reiwa era will be a peaceful and good era.
