It looks that way...but a lot of things can happen between now and when they "officially" have to declare Prince Hisahito as the heir to the throne and crown prince. There is still a chance for change.

When is this supposed to happen?

To be honest, I have no idea. But the way it looks right now, it could happen at any moment. Most probably after the current Emperor has passed on and all the other procedures had been said and done.

Its just a guess though and should not be taken seriously. I'm still hoping for change, or at the very least, getting the debat on the issue back on the table.

Yes. But I'm afraid that time for Princess Aiko's being a Tenno , went away...Hope not. But things seems to show there will be no change by now.

For a discussion about the influence of women on the imperial succession in the past, please see the following thread in the Japanese Royal History subforum, started by Prince of Camaria:

It is said that the laws of succession could be modified in order to allow Princess Aiko of becoming Empress one day.

I really hope the law will be voted!

Yes, it is possible since their constitution does not mention anything of the succession law which is stated by the Ko****su Tempan or the Imperial House Law (which was copied from the Prussian royal house's Salic law). The last sovereign empress of Japan, the Go'sakuramachi-san was reputed to be one of the best emperors in their history. This Miya-san may well become another wonderful & loving mother figure sovereign to that nation.
