The draft resolution, to be added to a bill designed to pave the way for Emperor Akihito’s abdication, says that the creation of female-led family branches is “an important matter that cannot be postponed.” It calls for discussion to begin quickly after the legislation is implemented and for the results to be reported speedily to the Diet.
