Yeah, that doesn't happen too often. Should be very interesting, especially for people interested in the Shinto religion.

What does the new era mean for the Shinto religion?

The abdication of an emperor (almost never happens) and the ascension of a new one are (I assume) pretty huge rituals, because they happen so rarely.

I've seen a few very intricate and long rituals so far, so I'm interested how this one will be.
