50th Anniv. of Emperor's Reign Issued on November 10, 1976 (Showa 51) In November 1976, a ceremony was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Showa, and 7,500 people from Japan and abroad attended. Emperor Showa was born in 1901 (Meiji 34) and reigned as the emperor from 1926 (Showa 1) to 1988 (Showa 63). During his 60-year reign, he was the only emperor who experienced both the emperor as the ruler of the Constitution of Japan and the "symbol emperor" of the Constitution of Japan during the Asia Pacific War. Stamps were issued in commemoration of this, and "ManzaiRaku" (Japanese traditional Music) and "Emperor's carriage" were designed.
