TOKYO, Japan – Upon arriving at the Imperial Palace yesterday for a private lunch, President Obama shook the hand of Emperor Akihito and gave a bow.  The emperor did not return a bow.

Later when he spoke to a group of 1,500, Obama referred to himself as “America’s first Pacific President.”

Obama’s bow is similar to the one he gave to the King of Saudi Arabia in April at the G20 Summit in London.  The president received criticism for that bow since he showed reverence to a king.
