Prince Hisahito of Japan recently celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony, radiant with smiles of joy and expressing his ambitions for the future, delighting the nation. Following royal traditions, he turned 20 on September 6, 2021, this significant event typically involving the young royal speaking about their life and future plans. The ceremony was marked with revelry as the Japanese nation celebrated their Prince's milestone.

In Japan, this coming-of-age ceremony is a significant event that marks the transition into adulthood. For the Imperial household, it is an event of national importance and is celebrated widely. The public generally takes a keen interest in this ceremony and particularly in the aspirations the young royals share during the event. It also aligns with traditional and societal values, showing that their imperial family still respects and adheres to age-old traditions, which are deeply respected in Japan.

In the US or EU, there is not an equivalent event for common folk or members of the royal families. While the ages of majority are recognized, they rarely involve large-scale ceremonies, or the individual speaking about their potential future impact. Celebrations are often private and not nationally televised in contrast to Japan where the Imperial family's events are often a public affair.
