On May 5, the Garden Party, hosted by Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, will be held for the first time in five years since Reiwa. Athletes, entertainers, and other fields are invited.
The event has been postponed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. The most notable invitees are celebrities who represent the world at that time. The exchange between Emperor Hirohito and judo player Yasashita at the spring party in 57 (Showa) is recounted.
