U.S. President's deep bow

I heard that bow to Japanese Heisei emperor raised some
criticism in some part of U.S. conservatives.

Don't get it wrong, big brothers. As some people already writes,
It's not matter of national power nor any authorities.

That means U.S. showed some symbolical courtesy,
sign of respect to Japan.

Because, as written in Japanese constitution,

"The emperor shall be the symbol of the state and of the
unity of the people".

Though many controversy for emperor exists in Japan,
It's still something official, and it means not so little.

and also U.S. President is symbol of U.S.

So, many Japanese people understand that meaning.

"Good will. We thought they sometimes acts like blute selfish
superpower superior. But now, they did it. They know courtesy.
We can respect them. So, we can expect to grow better partnership
with goodwill U.S. President. That's good for both of us. "

We thank you. and admire you, U.S. President.
