@ImperialJPNfan Thanks. If I undestand the article well, the option is only for the living princesses. Those of the next generation must keep their title upon marriage. Right?
@ImperialJPNfan Thanks! One more question, if you permit: is the parliament forcefully obliged to re-act the issue in 30 years? Or is it enough to say: nothing interesting, we may move on?
@ImperialJPNfan There is no 'problem' with a female emperor as long she passes on the throne to another one who comes from the male lineage of the Yamato dynasty.
@koninklijkhuis@MinBZ The fact that Masako is unable to take a walk in a random museum after 20 years of treatment may imply that her problem is extremely deep...
@ShadesOfRani@ImperialJPNfan Adoptation would mean that they adopt males whose fathers and grandfathers were members of the imperial family till 1946. So they are as much part of the 2600 old lineage as the current emperor is.
@ImperialJPNfan This tiara is more crown-like than the one she used to wore. The new tiara might be, therefore, to emphasise her role as a head of an imperial branch.
