This year has been 75-year-old Kyoko Tsukamoto is an ordinary Japanese woman in Okinawa Prefecture, the original, her name is Kyoko Ono, it was her early years in her family's surname from his father, but since she married at 21 years old Tsukamoto named after a large gang of men, she told her husband's surname.
At that time, the new "Constitution of Japan" has just come out soon, the Constitution provides that women must use her husband's name after marriage. Time went by, the constitution still in use, a fraction of the past fifty years, Kyoko Tsukamoto has become an old lady.
As the age increases day by day, Kyoko Tsukamoto piece of mind aggravating day by day. Because the "Ono" is her maiden name was originally a small family name, a very small percentage of the population, but because the married women from the husband of the Constitution, by the year 2010, when "Ono" This name only a few dozen people in the whole of Japan . Moreover, because of this provision, many married women in her family circle of life to use her maiden name in her husband's circle of life and the signing of legal documents have to use her husband's name when, it was very inconvenient.
Kyoko Tsukamoto think, is the "Constitution of Japan" has caused the gradual disappearance of her maiden name, and then go on like this, one day her maiden name Ono will completely disappear. Thus, Kyoko Tsukamoto, the Japanese government and the "Constitution of Japan" was brought to the court of Okinawa Prefecture, for the restoration of her maiden name and receive compensation.
Court began hearing the case soon, they feel the Constitution of the married women must use her husband's name terms, certain violations of equal rights and human rights, the Japanese government was required to return to the mound with the original name of the Kyoko rights.
Although down judgments, but this decision is also problematic. Because the "Constitution of Japan" is Japan's fundamental law, no law can violate the Constitution, this way, it means that the court's decision was "illegal" or even "illegal". Court helpless, in the second instance can only get rid of the first instance decision, the status quo.
This result Kyoko Tsukamoto, very angry. March 19, 2011, she was holding onto the Okinawa street posters, posters that read: "The Constitution of Japan" deprive the people of the name right, we should do everything against this barbaric and does not respect the people's Constitution!
In Japan, and the graves of people like this a few Kyoko, Kyoko Tsukamoto, then it is also their thoughts, a flash, to keep up to oppose the "Constitution" more and more people, they have asked the Japanese government should be returned to them the name right.
The scene quickly became a variety of newspapers and television news, when they press into the Japanese government's line of sight, they finally realized that this is no longer a simple name, but rather a social problem. If we do not attach importance to, it is now a small-scale demonstrations in the future do not know what will happen.
Japanese government soon began to discuss countermeasures, after two months of deliberation, they decided on the "Constitution of Japan" to amend the name of the people do not make the law free of interference, respect for the couple will maintain their names.
The idea is there, but then again, amend "the Constitution" is a matter of national importance, after all, not a rash within two days to complete, so the Japanese government to find Kyoko Tsukamoto, she describes the difficulties of that They will soon amend the constitution, but before the completion of the constitutional amendment, they made a new constitution is not inconsistent with the existing supplementary correction: after the death of a married woman can use her last name was originally buried, and for future generations to pay tribute encoffined.
Kyoko Tsukamoto, including the majority of Japanese women, including the "Constitution, added," Although not too satisfied, but also given to understand, willing to give them time corrective amendments, and Okinawa Prefecture, Japanese government said the court also warned: "I hope this is not a move delaying tactic, if it is to deceive the people, then you will lose the trust of the people! "
Reassuring that, on May 28, the Japanese government finally announced the news: a new constitution has officially entered the amended draft stage.
A woman can shake a nation's basic law, the face of it is simply a myth, but in essence it can be understood as any of a law is only one role, that is, services for the people. Obviously, there is not the root cause of this myth Kyoko Tsukamoto, how much power and capability, but the Japanese government realized the nature of the law!
