Japan's new Emperor Naruhito is set to formally mark his ascension to the Chrysanthemum throne, a day after his father became the first emperor to abdicate in two centuries.

In his first act as emperor, he will inherit Japan's Imperial Treasures in a deeply symbolic ceremony.

The emperor in Japan holds no political power but serves as a national symbol.
