The Unhappy Empire (Sesame Street)

Japan is being victimized by The Evil Prime Minister (who is acting as sovereign since the empire lacks an emperor), who boasts that he will relinquish his post to anyone who shows him something unique. Villagers bring flowers, fans, and hats, identical to those owned by the minister, but a young girl is able to prove that she herself is different from anything else.
