	The Emperor of Japan and the Imperial Institution
		Japan’s imperial institution, the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world, was already in existence when Japan emerged into recorded history and has since been perpetuated in a predominantly male line of descent.
		The emperor's primary political role from 1889 to 1947 was to ratify the policies and personnel decisions reached by his government leaders and to put the seal of the imperial will on political decisions they had forged, not to actually make decisions or dictate policy himself.
		As a symbol the "new" emperor was to mirror a modern, democratic, and middle-class Japan.

		However, the revival of the old imperial offices under the Kemmu restoration (1334) did not last for long because the old administration system was out of date and practice, and incompetent officials failed gaining the support of the powerful landowners.
		This was possible because of a succession dispute that had been going on between two lines of the imperial family since the death of emperor Go-Saga in 1272.

		In prewar Japan, Go-Daigo was glorified as a precursor of the Meiji emperor, and unorthodox interpretations of his achievements were risky.
		By demonstrating the fissiparous state of Japan at that time, Goble helps to illuminate the dual problems of emperor and state in recent times.
		From this perspective, the remarkable thing about Japan in the modern period, is its success, especially since 1945, in transforming the Emperor's role into that of a constitutional monarch,in a modern democratic government.

	Shogun
		In 1192 Yoritomo was awarded the title of Seii Taishogun by the emperor and the political system he developed with a succession of shogun at the head became known as a bakufu (tent government) or shogunate.
		From this point in history, all shogun that headed shogunates were by tradition descendants of the Minamoto princes, the sons of emperor Seiwa, and the title passed generation to generation to the eldest sons.
		The military wing of the government came to dominate the civil (imperial) government, so that while the Emperors of Japan still technically led the government, all practical (and especially military) power rested with the shogun and the daimyo.
