"Imperial Household of Japan" is so prevalently a concept that begins from Meiji Era, that I would restrict the article's substantial content to the past century and so. Earlier history is somehow so separate and seems a fragment of much more relevant content that is residing in clearly other articles. Do we have e.g Imperial Dynasty of Japan.

[edit] Prince Akishino's Child
His Imperial Highness Prince of Akishino (born 6 September 2006) at 8:27 AM (2327 GMT) and weighed 5.64 pounds.
Is that weight correct? 5.64 pounds would be rather small. On the other hand, 5.64 kilograms would be rather large. Nik42 13:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marriage outside imperial family
I think this line from the article requires revising:
In an effort to control the size of the imperial family, the law stipulates that only legitimate male descendants in the male line can be dynasts; that imperial princes and princesses lose their status as imperial family-members if they marry outside the imperial family; and that the Emperor and other members of the Imperial Family may not adopt children.
If I am reading this correctly, then don't all imperial family members need to marry their sisters or brothers or cousins in order to remain within the imperial family? Also, Crown Prince Naruhito married Masako (not a member of the imperial family) but remains the crown prince, contradicting the above statement. Any explanations before I revise? -Sarfa 01:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- You're right. That's an error. Princesses lose their status if they mary outside the imperial family, but princes do not. For example, the Emperor's daughter, the former Princess Sayako, is now a commoner named Sayako Nori, because of her marriage to a commoner. Nik42 01:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- The former Princess Sayako assumed the name Kuroda Sayako upon her marriage to Kuroda Yoshiki on 15 November 2005. Nori no miya was her childhood appelation as the daughter of the crown prince (and from 1989, the emperor). --Duke of Yarmouth 03:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

- Oops. I knew that, I just got those two mixed up. Nik42 05:23, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
