Taro Yamamoto faces criticism after handing note to Emperor Akihito at garden party in breach of strict protocol. Thursday 7 November 2013 09.24 GMT.
Yamamoto denied any intention to use the emperor for political purposes – a possible infringement of the postwar constitution, which relegates the emperor to a non-political, ceremonial role.
"My behaviour was indiscreet for a place like the garden party," Yamamoto said at a news conference on Tuesday. "I just wanted the emperor to know the reality. I was frustrated by not being able to achieve any of my campaign promises yet."
