In response to the wishes of the retired Emperor, the Imperial Household Agency is considering holding a ``Sojoden no Gi,'' which is equivalent to a general funeral ceremony, at the Imperial Palace, and significantly reducing the scale of the ceremony compared to Emperor Showa's funeral, according to interviews with people involved. The Emperor has long wanted to minimize the impact on people's lives, and is considering holding the ceremony in a place where he can safely attend without being affected by weather conditions, such as the Palace's Pine Room. Approximately 10,000 people attended Emperor Showa's funeral at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, but the number of attendees is expected to decrease significantly as the venue is changed to the palace.
