December 11, 1942: Today the emperor travels to Ise Shrine to worship in person [rather than by proxy]….

December 12:…Departed Kyoto Palace at 6:45 A.M…. arrived at Yamada Station at 10:00. The emperor prayed first at the outer shrine.

I am moved to awe before his great benevolence and feel profoundly honored as a loyal subject to be able to serve in this grand ceremony.2
