Creaser on Tour

Japanese Emperor Akihito and his wife landed Monday on Saipan, a small island in the Pacific Ocean that was briefly part of the Japanese empire.

Sixty-years ago, Saipan became the site of one of the decisive battles of World War II.

More than 43,000 Japanese soldiers and around 5,000 U.S. soldiers died during the nearly month-long battle. Another 12,000 civilians also died, some of them committing suicide rather than risk capture. The U.S. victory helped pave the way to Japan's final defeat.

The emperor's trip comes as tensions are rising between Japan and its neighbors, which claim Japan has never adequately apologized for its wartime aggression and continues to gloss over the actions of its soldiers.

I think the US should have an Emperor too and I think that it should be me.

By the way, I found this while google’ing for emperor pics. Is this some form of a Cleveland steamer?
