Fri, 27 February 2009 For Tuesday, February 24, 2009. (Apologies for the delay in posting!) Twenty years ago today, the state funeral for Emperor Showa was held. I talk about the man who was known as Hirohito during his lifetime, and about the nation he had led for over sixty years. Japan was a dominant force in the world during the 1980s, for more reasons than one. Comments[0] |
