On the 21st, the government's expert meeting, which discusses issues such as ensuring stable succession to the throne, held a second hearing and heard opinions from four experts in history.
Of these, Professor Emeritus Isao Tokoro of Kyoto Sangyo University said, "Currently, succession to the throne is limited to male boys, but even if male boys are prioritized, I think it is necessary to allow male girls." I did.
He also said that the "female palace", in which the female royal family remains in the imperial family after marriage, "needs a way for one person to remain as a royal family in order to continue the palace."
On the other hand, Professor Takahisa Furukawa of Nihon University said, "There is no constitutional problem with female emperors and female emperors. Thousands of years of tradition may be a little different."
"The establishment of the" Women's Miyake "is a bit half-hearted. The form of recognizing females and female empresses is the simplest and easiest to understand."
The next meeting of experts will be held on May 10th, and we will hold hearings from legal experts.
