Debate over a female emperor resurfaces in Japan

Original: 女性天皇

Discussion over whether Japan should allow a female emperor is drawing renewed attention. Under current imperial law, only males can inherit the Chrysanthemum Throne, and the shrinking number of male heirs has kept the question alive for years. Supporters argue change is needed to secure the succession, while conservatives back maintaining tradition, keeping the issue sharply divisive in Japanese politics.

Why now: Ongoing concern over the shortage of male heirs to Japan's imperial throne keeps the succession debate in the news.
