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) is a Japanese ultra-left communist group opposed to the Emperor of Japan, Flag of Japan, Kimigayo and Yasukuni Shrine.[3][4]
History
Hantenren conducted a demonstration over the celebration of the birth of Princess Aiko in December 2001.[1]
During the 2019 Japanese imperial transition, a small crowd on Hantenren supporters protested the ascension of Naruhito with little attention given.[5]
