I sincerely hope that, when Akihito is no more, there may be a loosening of protocol, to say the least.

Why should western democratic royals and others have to put up with "stepping up the stairs backward" ??

Even the BRF has got rid of that.

The world is multicultural, Renata4711, isn't it.
Obviously we should respect the Japanese traditions, since the Japanese people respect ours.
It was the personal choice of the President of Germany to follow the etiquette.

I see no problem here.

"In Japan, too, interest in renewable energy is growing," the Crown Prince said in response to Merkel's briefing, according to the Imperial Household Agency.
