Japan's line of imperial succession allows only males to ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne, despite the royal family's sharply shrinking number of men.
A Japanese government panel has recommended keeping the country’s imperial throne restricted to male heirs, despite a sharply shrinking number of men in the royal family.
The panel submitted a report to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Wednesday proposing ways to ensure that there are enough potential successors, such as adopting single men from some of the 11 now-defunct royal households as potential heirs, and allowing female royals to retain their status after marrying commoners.
Both options would require a revision of the 1947 Imperial House Law, which largely preserves pre-World War II values. The panel did not address the issue of whether the continuation of the current male-only succession system is workable.With the practice of royal concubinage now abandoned, the size of the imperial family has declined to 17. Outside of his 86-year-old uncle, Prince Hitachi,has only two possible successors: his younger brother, Crown Prince Akishino, and Akishino’s teenage son, Hisahito.
Naruhito’s only child, Aiko, a daughter, is not eligible to inherit the throne. Under current law, she must leave the family if she marries a commoner, like her cousin Mako,
