Empress dowager's memorial tablet moved to shrine in palace
TOKYO, Japan - A procession of carriages on June 18 accompanies a tablet signifying the spirit of the late Empress Dowager Nagako to a shrine in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo dedicated to the imperial family's ancestors. The ''reidai'' tablet was transferred to the shrine from the Fukiage Omiya Palace within the palace grounds, where the empress dowager lived. The empress dowager, posthumously known as Empress Kojun, died in June last year at the age of 97.
