As of 2021, there are three people in the line of succession to the current Emperor Naruhito: Crown Prince Akishino, Prince Hisahito, and Prince Hitachi.

Sciadopitys
''Sciadopitys verticillata'', the or Japanese umbrella-pine, is a unique conifer endemic to Japan. It is the sole member of the family Sciadopityaceae and genus ''Sciadopitys'', a living fossil with no close relatives. The oldest fossils of ''Sciadopitys'' are from the Late Cretaceous of Japan, and the genus was widespread in Laurasia during most of the Cenozoic, especially in Europe until the Pliocene.

There is inconsistent evidence regarding the plant family which produced Baltic amber. Both macrofossil and microfossil evidence suggest a ''Pinus'' relative, whereas chemical and infrared microspectroscopy evidence suggest relatives of either ''Agathis'' or ...
