The Japan Times

J'ai vu plusieurs fois passer ces derniers jours des images et articles sur les cérémonies célébrant l'entrée à l'âge adulte du jeune prince Hisahito, 19 ans, 2ème dans l'ordre de succession du trône japonais, et très probable futur empereur.

Tous les articles insistaient sur le fait que, en l'absence de réforme des lois sur la succession impériale, il fallait impérativement que ce jeune homme ait une descendance mâle, sinon il mettrait fin à une dynastie vieille de 2000 ans.

Quelle pression met-on sur les épaules d'un gamin - aussi conscient de ses responsabilités puisse-t-il être ?

C'est exactement le genre d'info qui me font réagir différemment après avoirvu #YoungRoyals, le pamphlet scandinave anti-monarchique déguisé en boys-love.
