		Prince Yasuhiko was a half-brother of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, Prince Nashimoto Morimasa, Prince Kuni Kuniyoshi, and Prince Kaya Kuninori, the father of the future Empress KÅjun, the consort of Emperor ShÅwa.
		It was perhaps due to this rift that Prince Asaka was transferred to the Central China Area Army (under elderly General Matsui Iwane) in China in 1937.
		On 14 October 1947, Prince Asaka and his children lost their imperial status and privileges and became ordinary citizens, as part of the American Occupation's abolishment of the collateral branches of the Japanese Imperial family.

		The main place where this can be seen is in the indirect conflict between General Matsui Iwane and Prince Asaka Yasuhiko.
		In most cases, it might be fair to say that the soldiers would have trusted their reservations about the executions if the order to do so came from a replacement commander and directly opposed previous orders, but this is not what happened.

	Book Review
		Until now, it was always believed the Japanese imperial family was either politically ignorant of, or lacked sufficient political authority to influence, the pillaging of Asia.
		Emperor Hirohito's brother, Prince Chichibu, was in charge of Golden Lily: the emperor's uncle, Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, masterminded the infamous Rape of Nanking.
		Hirohito himself, who it has always been thought was kept in ignorance of affairs by Japan's military elite, was fully aware of all developments and could even have halted the attack on Pearl Harbor.

	Nanking Atrocities - Introduction
		On December 1, 1937, the Imperial Headquarters, which had just been established as the highest authority on strategic matters in the "China Incident" in late November, finally ordered the CCAA to capture "the capital of the enemy state."
		Meanwhile the Imperial Headquarters reappointed General Matsui Iwane as the commander-in-chief of the Central China Area Army and newly appointed Lieutenant General Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, Emperor Hirohito's uncle, to take command of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force that made up the CCAA along with the 10th Army.
		When the Imperial Headquarters gave ex post facto, or retroactive, approval to the CCAA on December 1, 1937, both the 10th Army and the Shanghai Expeditionary Force had already been marching westward, heading for the capital city of Nanking, about 170 miles (270 kilometers) northwest of Shanghai.

		Yamamoto noticed that Fleet Admiral Prince Fushimi, the highest-ranking navy officer and a relative of the emperor, was chatting with a group of officers in front of a huge wall map of East Asia and the Pacific.

		But apparently Asaka was sick of all the quarrels between the two factions in the army.
