First Published in 1996. This volume contains the finest and most detailed descriptions of the Japanese enthronement ceremonies and imperial regalia available in the English language. Privately printed in 1928, it has never before been widely available. In an approach that combines history and anthropology, it presents meticulous description of the rituals, costumes, offerings and buildings in which the ceremonies - mostly enacted in private - are held.
