question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Akihito ? TOKYO (Reuters) -  Japan’s Emperor Akihito  is likely to abdicate at the end of March 2019 and Crown Prince Naruhito is expected to ascend the throne in April  the first abdication by a Japanese monarch in nearly two centuries  the Asahi newspaper reported on Friday.
In June  Japan’s parliament passed a law allowing Emperor  Akihito  to abdicate and the government needs to hammer out the details including the timing.
 Akihito   83  who has had heart surgery and treatment for prostate cancer  said in rare public remarks last year he feared age might make it hard for him to continue to fulfill his duties.

The abdication law  which applies only to Akihito and not to future emperors  included a resolution to debate letting female royals stay in the imperial family after marriage but did not touch on the controversial topic of allowing women to inherit.
Asahi said the expected 2019 abdication schedule would minimize the impact on people in changing to a new imperial reign from the current Heisei Era  which started in 1989 after the death of  Akihito ’s father Hirohito  according to the Asahi.
 Akihito   the first Japanese emperor who was never considered divine  has worked for decades at home and abroad to soothe the wounds of World War Two which was fought in  his  father Hirohito’s name.
The Empress also said she felt “an immeasurable sense of peace” that Akihito will be able to rest and spend quiet days after years of pursuing how the Emperor should be.

"It is hard to make an effort to repair if every problem is the other person's fault "  he  wrote. "So look for someone who is willing to look inside for the source of the problem and for solutions  nothing is more vital for a relationship to thrive."
