Thanks for the update!
It has been a graceful act on His Emperial Majesty's part to offer the Villa for people affected by recent calamities. Bathing and cleanliness are vital parts of the Japanese culture.

This is a remarkable photograph. Has a picture ever been taken before of the Emperor kneeing on the floor to talk to someone? It's something that I can't imagine his father doing. Lovely photo.

This is not first time at all. Last time when we had a disaster earthquake in Koube area they also visited the disaster area as shelters. And I watched the old lady was bowing so deep that Empress Michiko run to her and hold her shoulder.
Here is a Youtube video about visiting of this disaster area with Emperor and Empress at that time. Their visit with the narcissus bouquet which was picked and made by Empress Michiko herself from her garden in the palace that moring. So many people felt and touched by her thought. That flower is the symbol of Hope that still live in people's mind today. At the time she just recovered from her illness and the victim of earthquake kept asking her if she is all right. And the Empress kept saying I am fine. I watch this video and makes me cry each time. I thought I will share this.
There is another one I wanted to share with you. Their visit to the area and seeing their peaceful life together. The people in Japan is blessed by them.

I worry about the Emperor and Empress that I just hope they take care since the Emperor has on going cancer treatment as well as their age. Would be nice if CP Naruhito could join them sometime for this tremendous time or let Prince and Princess Akishino take and share this task freely with the Emperor and Empress more.

Thank you for the videos, Mariko. The scenes of the visit to Kobe are indeed touching, as is the third video--the one about the Imperial couple's life together. It's wonderful that they can bring some joy to those who are suffering so much.

Meanwhile, Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko visited Kita Ibaraki, a port wrecked by the tsunami about 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Tokyo.
The royal couple surveyed the damage along the waterfront, where blocks of concrete were jumbled by the huge waves. When told that a man died there, they showed their respects with a deep bow toward the sea. They also visited an evacuation center. ....
