tens of thousands of Japanese cheer Emperor Akihito during his last new year’s greeting before the abdication. The future of the Imperial family, many employees – an idea provides for a dispute.
“Banzai,” he live with this shout of joy, tens of thousands of Japanese adopted with waving national flag of Emperor Akihito. For the last Time in the Tenno wish you from the Palace balcony a happy new year. The crowd was so large that Akihito and his family showed more than planned on the balcony.
abdication after 30 years
at the end of April he will resign as the first Japanese Emperor for around 200 years during his lifetime. Thus, his government’s time, which is called Heisei, after 30 years, to the end. Heisei peace means “everywhere”. During this time, established Akihito, a new role of the Emperor as a “Symbol of the state” and sought to be as large as possible close to the ordinary people.
His political legacy, the reminder that Japan should not lose the Lessons of the world war from the eyes, such as the 85-affirmed Year-old nearly two weeks ago at his last press conference. “We must not forget the lives of the countless people who were lost in WWII,” he said. “It is important that we give this story accurately to the post-war generations.”

On 1 Of may, crown Prince Naruhito is the chrysanthemum throne. Then a new Imperial Era begins. Your Name will be on 1. April announced.
The joy was clouded by the uncertain future of the Imperial house. As for the next Emperor Naruhito in the next generation of the family only one heir to the throne, the now-twelve-year-old Hisahito. He would get later, no son, would be the extinction of the Imperial family, because only men are allowed on the throne.
debate on the authorisation of the Emperor inside
The 12-year-old Hisahito is the only male heir to the throne of the grandson generation of Akihito’s.
The easiest solution would be, therefore, that female emperors be allowed. The Toshihiro Nikai, Secretary-General of the ruling liberal democratic party says. “The fact that women are not only accepted in the case of the succession to the throne, is strange, although women are recognized at the present time everywhere. This is the time,” says Nikai.
The Imperial family is already shrunk to five men and 13 women. But so far, the women lose in the case of a marriage to a bourgeois man of her nobility status and leave the Imperial family. A legislative reform in favour of the women remained after the birth of Hisahito twelve years ago put.
solution for the future of the Imperial family in
wait for the Japanese Parliament warned seven months ago, in a Resolution again a solution. But the admission of the Emperor of the interior is prevented by conservative forces. Among them is Professor Tsuneyasa Takeda of Keio University, who argues with the blood line means: “What sounds quite nice, that is not noble men enter the Emperor’s house. The destroyed, the uninterrupted male line, because the Emperor on the maternal line. This is concealed in the discussion often.”
The Japanese policy tends to have problems to tackle, if it really is possible to not avoid. Therefore, it could take until the future of the Imperial family is backed by a Reform permanently and in the long term.
