Will Japan name Eiko as Empress
The article discusses Japan's debates over amending the Imperial Family Law due to the decreasing number of its members and the potential loss of an heir to the throne. The focus is on the possibility of women ascending to the throne following popular support for Princess Aiko. Current proposals include maintaining the status of princesses after marriage and allowing grandchildren from older branches of the family to inherit, while conservatives insist on keeping the male-only succession system and reject any changes that would allow women or those from the maternal branch to inherit the throne.
