    1. Illegitimate children aren't allowed. Harems were not allowed since they have lost in World War 2.
    2. Princesses lose their status when they marry commoners.
    3. They don't carry any money around.
    4. Their tradition is too different from the British Royal Family. They can't go wherever they want.

The Americans wanted to limit the Imperial family only so another world war may not happen by Japan. That rule shouldn’t apply this time seeing how there is only one kid in the next line of succession. Japan seriously f*cked up in gender treatment. Both sexes there are too awkward to each other.

    @-Offstar 3 года назад +246

    For anyone who might have an issue with this here is a run down of Japanese history which led to this. In Japan women were allowed to take the throne, the first Japanese Empress took the throne some 1400 years ago and was followed by 6 other Empresses 2 of which ruled twice. Women ruling Japan was an accepted thing that the Japanese didn't have a problem with at all. Until the Meiji Restoration 150 years ago where the Japanese overthrew the old Feudal system and the Tokugawa. A new ruling class took over and wanted to establish a new system so they looked outside of Japan to the US and Europe for how to go about making this new system. After looking at various systems they settled on the Prussian system where the Emperor had near absolute power over the nation however a consequence was women had little to no power so long as a male heir existed. They implemented this system and used it for 70 or so years until the US defeated Japan in WW2. When the US invaded and occupied Japan they rewrote their constitution removing nearly all of the Emperors power leaving him with less power than what the British royalty have today. In addition to this the Imperial Household Law of 1889 was changed as a direct result of the US rewriting the constitution and occupying Japan which made it so that the Royal family was restricted in size. Only so many people could be a part of it so it limited how many children can be part of the Royal family. So the situation of women not being allowed to be heirs and the limited number of royals is because of Western influence and interference. The Prussian system made it so women couldn't be heirs and the US occupation and rewriting of the constitution led to the restriction of the families size.

      Only the descendants of Emperor Taisho are eligible to become Emperors. All cadet branches of the Imperial family were stripped of their titles after the Second World War and it would require a constitutional amendment for that to change. If you can do that, why not just allow women to ascend the throne? Japan has the oldest unamended constitution in the world and the National diet have other priorities when it comes to the laws they want to amend, so I don’t expect anything to change anytime soon.

    After WWII, the line of succession removed all the cadet branches. This meant only descendants of Emperor Taisho would be eligible to become emperor. One option that was floated before the birth of Hisahito was to "adopt" the next male in line of succession if the cadet branches were not removed. This is quite difficult too, since the many cadet branches also have become extinct in the 70+ years of them being "commoners".
