By LEON DANIEL

KYO.—Woman power is changing the face of

Wmy Japanese husbands still spend little time at
i^Oie'arth-side, but some younger husbands complain

they don’t come straight home from work.

Now Changing The Face Of Old Nihon

Just as the image of Japan as a nation of chet'ry
blossoms, Geisha, silk and pearls is changing to a
country of industrial and economic power, the image
of the Japanese woman also is changing.
She is as likely to wear- a mini skirt as a kimono,
and is as likely to practice judo as flower arranging.More significant, she is politically aware.

ballots in the Dec. 2S general election. Slightly fewer
than 68 percent of the men voted.
It has been almost a quarter of a century since the
post-war constitution gave Japanese women the right
to vote. Perhaps the most spectacular battle they
won with all those ballots was the fight to abolish
legalized prostitution.
The women used their votes to give women seats
in parliament. Then the lady lawmakers pooled their

forces and urged — some say “nagged” — male, le­
gislators to support their campaign to close the
brothels which had been operating for generations
with government sanction.
The women are still flexing their political muscles.
The feminine vote was credited with making Ryokichi
Minobe the first Socialist governor of Tokyo in 1967.
The members of the Japan Housewives Association
plead their cases aggressively in legislative halls and
industrial circles.
The constitution devised and installed by U.S. Occupation Forces amounted to an emancipation pro­
clamation for women, ending the. old social order which
denied women the vote. Women rushed into politics
when universal suffrage was implemented in 1946.
In the early post-war days there was a saying in
