But is it still attainable?
But they didn't care.
the crisis really stems from the lack of male heirs this really speaks to the broader demographic picture of japan we're having a crisis of the asian population with a shrinking population and it's being reflected here also with the imperial family under japan's 1947 imperial household law only men in the male bloodline can inherit the throne and take over
But as you said, there's only one young heir, which is Prince Hisahito.
He's 19 years old.
So this bill, they're hoping to try to widen who may be able to join as a member of the imperial family, not necessarily to take the throne, but to help perform some of the duties.
There are a lot of duties.
that the imperial family have to perform a lot of attendances, a lot of public events.
And so this is their way of hopefully kind of expanding the number of people who could take on a role as a representative of the imperial family.
Yeah, so this bill, hopefully, they want to make two important changes.
First, to allow the imperial family to adopt men from former imperial branch families.
There's about 11 imperial branch families, and that would really help widen this pool.
It also would allow female members of the Imperial family to stay royals and keep their title after marrying a commoner instead of automatically leaving the family.
We saw a few years ago a princess leave the Imperial family after she married a lawyer, a commoner, and moved to New York City.
So we lost her entirely after she got married.
And they're hoping that this bill will help keep more members in the family.
Never say never.
I would think it's entirely possible, but politically it's very difficult.
We've had about eight female emperors historically, but now that we're seeing a female prime minister elected, there's a lot of hope that we could have a female emperor, but there's a lot of conservatives, especially within the ruling LDP party, they're saying the male line is essential to the monarchy's tradition, which makes it very hard to have a woman emperor at the moment.
It's basically happening because the Japanese interest rates have been kept low for decades.
