NEW YORK – The completion by Japan’s Imperial Household Agency of the 61-volume record of the life of Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989) has generated much interest and attention in Japan. The entire formidable work was recently opened to limited public viewing, with a plan to publish it over the next five years.
纽约—日本宫内厅完成了61卷本裕仁天皇实录，这在日本引起了广泛的兴趣和关注。这份卷帙浩繁的实录目前对公众有限开放阅览，计划在未来五年中陆续出版。但很显然，这份新实录在不经意间反映了日本仍然没能解决其历史中的一些基本问题。
