Sun goddess ...
Leaked news of Princess Kiko's pregnancy seems to have halted the battle in Japan about whether the law should be changed to allow a female heir to inherit the throne. I don't know much about Japanese history and culture, but I'm still amazed that this society that often seems so modern is clinging so tightly to archaic and discriminatory traditions. Anyway visit here for the story so far ... no news about the sex of the baby for a while yet though.
