	The Ultimate Emperor of Japan - American History Information Guide and Reference
		Although the Emperor performs many of the roles of a head of state, there has been a persistent controversy within Japan as to whether the Emperor is in fact head of state or merely someone who acts as head of state.
		By the constitution of 1889, the emperor of Japan transferred a large part of his former powers as absolute monarch to the representatives of the people, but remained as head of the empire.
		The emperor was given broad and vague "reserve powers" which in turn were exploited by the prime minister and various cliques around the Emperor.

	Emperor of Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Although the emperor currently performs many of the roles of a ceremonial sovereign as head of state, there has been persistent controversy within Japan as to whether the emperor is in fact a true monarch in a political sense or merely a hereditary pretender holding such office within a constitutional parliamentary republic.
		Hence the emperor is simply a political actor within a government that does not truly adhere to the Westminster system where the position of "head of the state" requires a person of sovereignty or with popular mandate to assume that office.
		The acceptable source of imperial wives, brides for the emperor and crown prince, were even legislated into the Meiji-era imperial house laws (1889), which stipulated that daughters of Sekke (the five main branches of the higher Fujiwara) and daughters of the imperial clan itself were primarily acceptable brides.

	Association for Asia Research- Suggestions that the Japanese Emperor may be descended from mounted Korean conquerors
		The first emperor described in the texts as actually riding a horse comes two reigns after Ojin, "and the groom holds the bit while he rides," Kidder recalls -- hardly characteristic of a warrior horseman.
		For Kidder, then, the critical reign in the rise of the horseriders probably is that of Emperor Keitai, at the beginning of the sixth century.
		By the time of Ojin and his line a century later, previous tribal groupings had given way to an administrative system capable of undertaking major public works projects, including irrigation canals, huge tombs, and large-scale importation of iron from southern Korea.

	The Bow of Hachiman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The significance of the identification of Hachiman as Ojin is not entirely clear; one suggestion is that it was an attempt to integrate the god more closely with the imperial institution by making him an imperial ancestor.
		But it is evident that during this period the god was seen as ensuring the protection of the emperor, and the Heian cult may be identified as the phase in which Hachiman assumed the aspect of a tutelary god.
		The age of the Chou, the time of human emperors in Japan, the reigns of JingU and Ojin, the era of Kimmei, the founding of the Iwashimizu shrine—the recital of this sequence of historical eras is an attempt to unite the primordial time with the present age.
