Imperial family of Japan

The Imperial family of Japan is the officially recognized royal family, with the Emperor as the ceremonial head of state. The current emperor, Naruhito, holds a symbolic role in Japanese society, representing continuity, tradition, and cultural identity. The family also includes the empress, princesses, and other relatives, many of whom are involved in public duties and cultural activities. While they have no political power, their presence reinforces Japan's historical and cultural heritage. The family is governed by constitutional provisions that limit their roles to symbolic and ceremonial functions.
