@@Lauren_K The same can be said about any cultural monument. Is it a waste of tax payer money to maintain the National Mall - the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument etc? The Emperor (as ridiculous as this sounds) is somewhat of a cultural monument for the Japanese - similar to our WWII and Vietnam monuments. Is that a waste of tax payer money?

I'm Japanese. Emperors after the WW2 had a lot of pressure to be a good, hard-working figure so that they could gain trust from people and keep the system of imperial family supported by Japanese people. The present and the prior emperor did work hard and always tried to reach out for people who suffered from disasters and many other sufferings. (There have been many natural disasters such as big earthquakes. They always visited those places to listen to people and encourage them.) They have a big healing power for people for sure, but hopefully their dedication will be continued. Some people started to doubt the meaning of the existence of imperial family. Without their continuous dedication, it may become harder to keep the system as what it is.
