He is set to begin his first trip to this country in more than half a century. And if Japanese Emperor Akihito spends a moment during Friday’s flight from Tokyo to Ottawa trying to recall his 1953 visit to postwar Canada, it’s doubtful the exploding flashbulb, the unscheduled snooze or even the lost pants will come to mind.
