Ensuring a stable succession of the throne

After the series of autumn ceremonies following the emperor's throne, the government decided to tackle issues such as ensuring a stable succession of the throne, but an expert meeting was set up to proceed with the study in a calm environment. The policy is to listen to opinions individually from experts.

After the Emperor's throne, there will be three imperial qualifications for the succession of the emperor, and it is anticipated that the female imperial family will leave the Imperial Family for marriage in the future, so the government will take the throne, such as “Daijosai” next month. After finishing a series of autumn ceremonies, we will tackle issues such as ensuring stable succession of the throne and reducing the number of royalty.

In this connection, Secretary of Secretary Jun said at a press conference that “male inheritance needs to be carefully and carefully considered, taking into account the weight that has been maintained without exception since ancient times,” and only for male men. He showed a cautious attitude to the expansion of the qualification for succession to the throne.

On the other hand, in addition to expanding the eligibility for succession of the throne to women and “female”, there are also requests for the creation of a “female palace” where the female royal family remains imperial after marriage.

With this in mind, the government wants to proceed with consideration in a calm environment so as not to invite conflicts. For this reason, we do not set up a meeting body like a well-informed person meeting that has been decided in advance, as we did when the Emperor's abduction was considered, but for the time being we will take the form of listening to opinions from a wide range of experts. .
