- Readers following Japanese marriage and inheritance law
- Worth noticing
- The page identifies Nakano’s final translation, 『ベトナム:ドイモイと権力』, as a May 2021 publication from Mekon.
Field notes
The homepage divides its account into three arguments: choosing surnames at marriage, inheritance rights for de facto spouses, and discrimination in the same-surname system. Separate links point to a statement of the issues, lawsuit materials, proceedings, and photographs. It identifies the couple’s wedding party as January 27, 1991, at Polepoleza in Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo; the extracted text does not expose the underlying filings.
