Imperial Household’s 17-Year Grandma Project: Nap Time?
In a dazzling display of bureaucratic endurance worthy of a snail marathon, Japan's Imperial Household Agency spent a leisurely 17 years compiling the full records of Empress Kojun. Yes, the paternal grandmother of Emperor Naruhito, whose lifetime details apparently required nearly two decades to digitally file or perhaps hand-bind scroll by scroll. One can only imagine the meetings: 'Do we want to check birth certificates again, or just adopt a 3-piece rule?' Meanwhile, the emperor’s grandma patiently waits like the ultimate vintage masterpiece preserved in slow-mo—proof that sometimes, officialdom knows how to make molasses look like Red Bull.

Seventeen years to document grandma Kojun? The Imperial Household Agency must think time is a luxury yacht and paperwork an epic saga with no deadline in sight.
If it took 17 years to finish Empress Kojun’s records, I’m convinced the Imperial Household Agency runs on existential dread and chronic procrastination.
Dear Imperial Household Agency, your 17-year grandma dossier marathon could've sponsored a Netflix series, but I guess sleep is more royal.
