The man told police he opposes Japan’s imperial system, local media reported.

By Simon Denyer Simon Denyer Tokyo bureau chief covering Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Email Bio Follow May 8 at 6:36 AM TOKYO — A man arrested for leaving two knives on the school desk of a young Japanese prince has admitted to police that he intended to stab the 12-year-old boy because he disagrees with the imperial system, Japanese media reported.

The knives, whose blades had been painted pink, were bound to a two-foot-long bar that straddled the school desk of the prince and a neighboring desk, local news media reported, heightening security fears and underlining the vulnerability of a royal family desperately short of male heirs. Hasegawa confessed that he intended to stab Hisahito, news outlets reported, but ended up just leaving the knives to let the prince know he had been there. Why the knives were painted pink and bound to a bar was not explained.

Prince Hisahito, accompanied by his parents Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko, poses for photos at Ochanomizu University junior high school before attending the entrance ceremony in Tokyo, April 8, 2019. Koji Sasahara/Pool via Reuters/File Photo Hisahito and his classmates were reportedly out at a physical education class when the man entered the school. The intruder was able to identify where the prince sits because children have their names on their desks.
