Defining the News
Japan’s royal family is now on Instagram – but don’t expect any candid selfies from its official account, which went live Monday in a cautious social media debut for the ancient monarchy.
Nonetheless, more than 160,000 users have followed the Imperial Household Agency account, which was announced a week ago but set to private until Monday. By joining social media, the institution hopes to spark interest among younger generations about what the imperial family does, an IHA spokesperson confirmed to AFP.But, perhaps predictably, the posts under the Instagram handle kunaicho_jp contain no behind-the-scenes juice.
“When I heard the IHA created an Instagram account, I quickly checked it out. But of course the emperor wouldn’t post ‘today’s lunch ’ or anything like that,” wrote another.
