There is a son who lets his daughter-in-law inherit political assets, which one is the Horiuchi family singing about?
Generally speaking, the heirs of political families are either children born with golden spoons, such as Shinzo Abe, who was just shot, who inherited the political assets of his father, Shintaro Abe. Even if it is not good, he will choose a good son-in-law to inherit the family's political assets, such as Abe Jintaro, who inherited the political assets of his father-in-law Kishi Nobusuke.
However, the Horiuchi family in Japan inherited political assets by their daughter-in-law, Noriko Horiuchi.
The representative of the Horiuchi family, Mitsuo Horiuchi, is not only the president of the Fujikyu Group in Japan, but also an influential figure in politics. He served successively as Minister of International Trade and Industry, Minister of Labor, and served as President of the General Affairs Bureau within the Liberal Democratic Party, and because of the support gained within the Party, the Horiuchi Faction was established, which became the fourth largest faction within the Liberal Democratic Party.
Like traditional Japanese parents, Horoneta attaches great importance to his son's marriage, after all, marriage is a win-win result for two families through marriage. So he was carefully chosen and chose Horiuchi Shoko.
At that time, Horiuchi Wasōko was still called Kobayashi Shoko.
Shoko Kobayashi was of aristocratic origin. Her family is ranked in the top ten in Japan, and her family members are not only spread across various fields in Japan, but also a large number of people who hold important official positions. His ancestors were also very prominent figures, such as the fifth patriarch Okubo Ritsu, who was the founder of the Meiji Restoration and served as the Secretary of the Interior in the Meiji Period (at that time, Japan did not have a prime minister, and the authority of this position was almost equivalent to that of prime minister). After her grandfather, Kobayashi, succeeded to the Kobayashi family, she founded the Japan Development Bank after World War II and was a powerful figure in Japan's financial circles.
When she was 20 years old, shoko Kobayashi, who was born of the nobility, was just in time for the Imperial Household Agency to choose a concubine for Emperor Sun Naruhito, so she and some of the famous ladies of the Qianjin family were included in the shortlist.
With her prominent position of wealth and noble blood, Shoko Kobayashi easily passed the shortlist and entered the official shortlist.
Naruhito's selection of concubines is also one of the things that the media is most concerned about. Therefore, the information of the girls on the official shortlist has also been clearly ripped off by the media. For example, there are Tokugawa Toshiko from the Tokugawa family, such as The daughter of Empress Kasune's mother-in-law, Kuyako, such as the daughter of the eleventh generation of the Mitsui chaebol, etc.
These girls are from famous families, and these famous families are also related to each other.
For example, the Kobayashi family and the Aso family formed a relationship early through marriage. In the Aso family, there is a girl who has successfully married a member of the royal family. If Kobayashi was chosen as Naruhito's concubine, she would not only be able to become the first princess in the family, but also because Naruhito was the eldest grandson, she would be able to become empress after Naruhito succeeded to the throne.
However, although Shoko Kobayashi has an impeccable family lineage, her appearance is not outstanding.
In fact, in the official shortlist, there are not many outstanding looks, so although the concubine selection activities held by the Imperial Household Agency are very lively, Naruhito does not look at any of them, and what he finally chooses is the civilian girl Masako Kowada.
After the failure of the concubine selection, Kobayashi continued to study at the university. At this time, the elders of the Horiuchi clan came to propose to Koichiro Horiuchi. Therefore, under the mediation of the two parents, after graduating from university, Kobayashi married Horini Mitsuo's only son, Horini Mitsuichiro, and changed her name to Horiuchi Horino according to tradition.
Koichiro Horiuchi has no interest in politics, he is obsessed with running the family business, and even for the development of the family business, he has made many sacrifices.
The most direct sacrifice is that during the epidemic period the year before, although Fuji-Q Highland was opened, a series of measures were proposed in order to cope with the epidemic. For example, visitors to the park must wear masks, do not scream when riding on amusement facilities, etc., so that tourists have complained that "it is so strict" and "it can't be done at all".
In order to implement the measures, Koichiro Horiuchi, together with Fuji-Q Highland President Iwata Daimasa, put on a mask and personally demonstrated how to ride a roller coaster without screaming.
I saw that in the process of riding the roller coaster, the two presidents were sitting precariously without making a sound. Even Koichiro Horiuchi gracefully adjusted his mask. At the end of the video, he also reminded everyone that screaming is good to be in the heart, and there is no need to scream.
After the video was uploaded to the Internet, it immediately attracted many netizens. When everyone laughed, they commented: "The picture is too surreal! "Actually, President Horiuchi was just too scared to scream!"
However, when everyone learned that Koichiro Horiuchi had a fear of heights, everyone still expressed great admiration for his dedication and courage.
Although Koichiro Horiuchi was very attentive to the family business, he never had an interest in politics.
This caused Horikita Mitsuo a lot of headaches. Because he is such a son, if no one inherits his political assets, then the development of the family will be seriously affected with the disappearance of political assets.
Thinking about it, Horion Mitsao decided to let his daughter-in-law, Horion Horino, inherit his political assets.
After being pushed onto the political stage, Horiuchi was really capable. At the age of 47, she was elected to parliament. By 2021, after Kishida Fumio was elected Prime Minister of Japan, Noriko Horiuchi entered the cabinet for the first time as a minister. In our country, it is equivalent to a minister and above.
Because Japan has always discriminated against women politically, few women have been able to enter politics. Therefore, after Noriko Horiuchi became a cabinet minister, Japanese women were quite proud of her. However, Japanese politics is, after all, the domain of men, so there are not many opportunities for Horino to exert his political talents.
Interestingly, although Horionine was not elected imperial concubine, her son Kimitsu Horiuchi had a scandal with Emperor Naruhito's niece, Princess Yoshiko. Originally, as an aristocratic origin, being able to climb the royal family was naturally the icing on the cake. However, Noriko Horiuchi publicly denied it, saying that her son and Princess Yoshiko had not met, so how could there be a romantic relationship. She also said that Kiko was already working in Singapore, no one was in Japan, how could he be in love!
Horiuchi's denial surprised many people. After all, being able to climb up with the royal family is a good thing that famous families can encounter, and it is indeed rare for a "clear height" like Horiuchi Shoko!
In fact, Horiuchi also has her thoughts on the marriage of her children.
It turned out that Princess Yoshiko was the daughter of Prince Fumihito of Akishinomiya, and her sister Princess Makoto chose to marry the commoner Komuro Kei, and Kei Komuro's mother was suspected of breaking the law, cheating on insurance and other scandals, so that Princess Mako and Kei Komuro's love affair was fiercely opposed by the people. At this time, Princess Mako still insisted on being with Kei Komuro, and also regarded the voices of the people's opposition as slander and slander, so the people became more and more unkind to prince Wenren's family in Akishinomiya.
Of course, the innocent family of famous people is not willing to go through the muddy waters of the imperial family, so Horiuchi Will euphemistically "deny" the scandal between her son and Princess Yoshiko.
It can be seen that although it is difficult for Horiuchi to show her fists politically, she has the tentacles of a politician after all, and knows that for the long-term development of the family, the family must not be tainted because of marriage. It can be seen that Horion Mitseo let his daughter-in-law inherit his political assets, or it is a wise choice.
