This print captures a momentous occasion in Japanese history - the coronation ceremonies of Emperor Hirohito in November 1928. The image showcases the Kashikodokoro, an awe-inspiring Ark of the Sacred Mirror dedicated to the soul of the revered Sun Goddess.

The photograph transports us back to a bygone era, where foreign leaders and famous personalities gather to witness this historic event. Against a backdrop of majestic horses and under clear daytime skies, Emperor Hirohito assumes his rightful place as Japan's ruler amidst elaborate rituals and regal splendor. Preserved in vintage charm, this horizontal composition evokes a sense of reverence for royalty while offering glimpses into Japan's rich cultural heritage. Through its lens, we are reminded that moments like these transcend time; they bridge past with present and inspire future generations. This remarkable print from Underwood Archives is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a visual portal into one of Asia's most significant historical events.
