	Japan from Tokugawa to Meiji
		Meiji Japan established a constitution in 1889 modeled on a political theory of a German, Lorenz von Stein, who held that a monarchy existed to arbitrate between groups with competing interests, to prevent the exploitation of the weak by the strong.
		Japan was proving its perceived superiority militarily, and in 1876 Korea signed a treaty, drafted by the Japanese, that granted the Japanese in Korea extraterritoriality, exemption from tariffs and recognition of Japanese currency at ports of trade.
		Japan sent troops to Korea, took over Korea's royal palace and, by the end of September, Japan's army was in control of most of Korea and Japan's navy in control of the Yellow Sea (Huang Hai).Korea's king, Min, found refuge in the Russian legation.

		Drawing extensively from the Meiji tenno ki, the official Japanese record of the emperor's life, noted Japan scholar and Columbia professor emeritus Keene fills this monumental work with a wealth of factual information from the emperor's childhood illnesses and tours across the country to his political role in the state apparatus.
		However, the environment to foster the rise of Japan as a world power was certainly fostered by the emperor's departure from the traditional role of the Japanese emperor, a position which under the preceeding Shogunate period could be said to resemble that of a national high priest.
		"Emperor of Japan" may not be the definitive source for each of these subjects, but as they directly involved and affected Emperor Meiji and his reign they are given a very thorough analysis.

	The Meiji Real Life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Emperor Meiji's Japan when modernism was underway: the claim upon Korea was nothing modern -- the previous military adventure or attempted invasion of Korea was done when Lord Chancellor Toyotomi Hideyoshi reigned, in 1598.
		While Emperor Meiji's claim on the throne was something ancient, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was an anomaly in the entire history of Japan in some 'progressive' way, certainly way ahead of Emperor Meiji's progressiveness: Toyotomi was the son of a landless peasant, who rose to the ultimate position as Lord Chancellor -- equal to a Shogun.
		By the way, it was Emperor Meiji who radically changed the diet of the Japanese; in the end of his reign, Japanese had been consuming much less fish and rice, eating more and more potatoes, plus importing beef and pork and such in increasing quantity.

		The aim of "Emperor of Japan" is to shed some light on the life of the Meiji emperor while placing him in the context of his times.
		Meiji was a diligent emperor who understood the gravity of his position and the responsibilities it entailed by taking a more active role than his predecessors in discussing and examining state matters with his officials.
		When the Meiji Emperor began his rule, in 1867, Japan was not a unified country per se; it was dominated rather by the shogun and the daimyos, who ruled over Japan's more than 250 decentralized domains.
