	Encyclopedia: Emperor of Japan
		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 a true monarch in a political sense or merely a hereditary pretender, as a political servant of a constitutional parliamentary republic.
		Empress Michiko of Japan Her Imperial Majesty Empress Michiko of Japan (美智子), (born October 20, 1934) formerly Michiko Shoda (正田美智子 shoda michiko) and later the Crown Princess of Japan (April 10, 1959 to January 7, 1989), is the wife and consort of the reigning Emperor of Japan, Akihito.

	Japan - The Status of the Emperor
		In the Meiji Constitution, the emperor was sovereign and was the locus of the state's legitimacy.
		The emperor is neither head of state nor sovereign, as are many European constitutional monarchs, although in October 1988 Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed, controversially, that the emperor is the country's sovereign in the context of its external relations.
		The "symbolic" role of the emperor after 1945, however, recalled feudal Japan, where political power was monopolized and exercised by the shoguns, and where the imperial court carried on a leisurely, apolitical existence in the ancient capital of Kyoto and served as patrons of culture and the arts.

		The beginning of the Taisho period was marked by a political crisis that interrupted the earlier politics of compromise.

	Hirohito
		Emperor Hirohito, whose rule spanned more than half of the twentieth century (1926-89) and who witnessed Japan's military imperialism and post World War II economic expansion during his rule, was a good testimony to modern Japanese history: both its opportunities and its dilemmas.
		Therefore the emperor was put in the paradoxical position of being a constitutional monarch and as the bestower of the constitution to the people.
		Because of the Taisho emperor's ill health, both physical and mental, and because of the establishment of a constitutional government that did grant the people certain rights (although it also cautioned people not to exercise them), the world was changing in Japanese politics in the 1910s and early 1920s.

		On the other hand, Herbert Bix has recently produced a large amount of evidence suggesting that the emperor worked through intermediaries to exercise a great deal of control over the military, and that he was, in fact, the prime mover of most of the events of the two wars.
		In early 1945, in the wake of the loss of Leyte, the Emperor began a series of individual meetings with senior government officials to consider the progress of the war.
		According to some sources, the Emperor privately approved of it and authorised Kido to circulate it discreetly amongst the less hawkish cabinet members; others suggest that the Emperor was indecisive, and that the mixed signals from the palace delayed the peace process, costing many tens of thousands of Japanese and Allied lives.

		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.
		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.

		A new emperor, Showa—known to the world outside Japan by his given name, Hirohito—took the throne, and the era was renamed Showa.
		During the early years of Hirohito’s reign, Japan grew increasingly nationalistic, with the military gaining a growing influence in politics.
		As the nation ran headlong toward war, the Nichiren Shoshu priesthood succumbed to pressure from the government and compromised Nichiren Daishonin’s teachings in support of the nation’s war efforts and the state-supported Shinto religion, which promoted belief in the divinity of the emperor.
