The first male heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne in four decades was named Hisahito — meaning “virtuous, calm and everlasting,” — today, the Imperial Household Agency announced.The 6-day-old infant, who is third in line to be emperor, was given his name in an ancient imperial ceremony at the Tokyo hospital where his mother, Princess Kiko, is recovering.
The name Hisahito, formed with the Chinese characters for “virtuous, calm and everlasting,” was chosen with the wish that the new prince has a long, prosperous life, an even temper and peace of mind, palace spokeswoman Yuka Shiina said.
The baby's name was written on special rice paper with a brush and ink and placed with his personal crest in a wooden box next to his pillow in a five-minute ceremony. The crest, a stylized Japanese umbrella pine, will be used to mark Prince Hisahito's belongings.
---Okay---
So, the pic at the top really has nothing to do with the post, but it was just too funny/cute to leave out! :)
