Man Sentenced For Placing Knives On Japan Prince's Desk

A Japanese man who left two kitchen knives on the school desk of Japan’s Prince Hisahito, who is second in line to the throne, was given a suspended sentence in a report by AFP.

Kaoru Hasegawa was handed an 18-month sentence, suspended for four years, in April on suspicion of illegally entering the premises of the junior high school that the prince attends.Hisahito, 13, is the son of Emperor Naruhito’s younger brother Akishino, who is first in line to the throne.“carried out the crime because of selfish thoughts that he wanted to get attention and there’s no room for leniency.

The incident came as authorities were beefing up security ahead of the abdication of the popular former emperor Akihito after a 30-year reign. Threats to the imperial family are relatively rare. In 1975, Akihito was almost hit by a Molotov cocktail in Okinawa, a major World War II battlefield where there was strong anti-emperor sentiment.

Japan’s Chrysanthemum Throne can only be inherited by a male heir, according to the Imperial Household Law, in place since 1947. That has raised the prospect of a succession crisis if Hisahito does not have a son.In this article:
