Japan's Prince Hisahito Comes of Age | JQJO

Prince Hisahito of Japan celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony at the Imperial Palace, a significant event given the ongoing succession crisis. The 19-year-old, second in line to the throne, received a ceremonial crown, highlighting the male-only succession law that excludes his cousin, Princess Aiko. Public opinion favors allowing female succession, but the current situation leaves the future of the world's oldest imperial line uncertain, as Hisahito is currently the only male heir.
