Asked whether the agency was studying a change to the law, he responded, "We are not studying it, because the emperor has no feelings of the sort that would be the critical precondition" for such an examination.
当被问及宫内厅是否在研究修改法律时，他回应称，他们并未对此进行研究，因为天皇没有此类想法，只有天皇有这样的想法时才会进行这样的研究。

ravages8 of war," he said.
