Han Tennosei Undo Renraku Kai[1] (反天皇制運動連絡会, roughly Anti-Emperor Activities Network, Anti-Emperor Association[2] or Liaison Group Movement against the Imperial System[1]) shortened to Hantenren (反天連)[3][4] is a Japanese ultra-left group opposed to the Emperor of Japan, Flag of Japan, Kimigayo, and Yasukuni Shrine.[5][6]
History
After the birth of Princess Aiko, the first born of the Crown Prince and Princess in December 2001, 60 Hantenren members conducted a protest against nationwide celebrations of the birth.[1] One member Homare Kitano, 42, is quoted saying “Today, many other children were born, but this baby will be praised as if she is the most blessed child”.[1] Other protesters chanted slogans such as “We won’t celebrate” and “No need for successor to Imperial family,” while wearing sashes with an “X” written over the kanji for celebration.[1]
During the 2019 Japanese imperial transition, Hantenren supporters protested the ascension of Naruhito.[7]
