The new Emperor of Japan, Naruhito, whose enthronement ushered in the Reiwa Era, will make his first official appearance at the Ryogoku Kokugikan on Day 14. Based on previous visits to the Kokugikan by his father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito, we can expect Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako to arrive at the mid-point of the Makuuchi Division to what I anticipate will be great fanfare. The attendance of the Emperor and Empress will certainly make what was already an exciting day of sumo that much better.
