	Emperor of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese administrations have usually been in a position where the emperor was something that had to be accepted as a necessary inconvenience - as the Italian government has had to live with the Pope residing within the borders of Italy.
		By the 1930s the Japanese cabinet was largely composed of pseudo-fascist military leaders who used the emperor and his supposed divinity as an ultra-nationalistic rallying point for expansion of the Empire.
		In part, the Japanese imperial dynasty owes its longevity in the male line to the use of concubines, a practice that only ended in the Taishō period (1912-1926).

		The empire had the Meiji Constitution (1889) which states the Japanese Emperor is the head of state and has sovereignty over the nation.
		So, for the sake of the military-industrial development scheme, and industrial growth on the whole, mercantilist theories prevailed, and the Japanese felt that resource-rich colonies were needed to compete with European powers.
		Japanese naval forces attack Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (December 7), prompting the United States to declare war on Japan (December 8).

		From this time and a century later (the sixteenth) also date those beautiful cabinets of lacquered wood enriched with ivory, mother of pearl, with silver and even with gold, which have been brought to England occasionally; but genuine specimens of this, and of the seventeenth century, are very scarce and extremely valuable.
		Elaborate bedsteads, tables and cabinets were also made, with panels of ash stained a dark color and ornamented with hunting scenes, in which the men and horses are of ivory, or sometimes with ivory faces and limbs, the clothes being chiefly in a brown colored wood.
		In comparing the decorative work on Chinese and Japanese furniture, it may be said that more eccentricity is effected by the latter than by the former in their designs and general decorative work.

		From economic to strategic to social imperialism, from the notion of "informal empire" to the most recent debate surrounding "cultural imperialism," historians continue to probe the causes of European expansion and domination in the l9th and 20th centuries as central to the history of national development and international conflict that defines the modern age.
		While rarely a party to this debate, Japanese historians have long sustained a discussion of their own on Japanese imperialism that has stressed the internally generated semi feudal and material origins of expansion.
		While a succession of party cabinets in the 1920s promoted continental retrenchment, arms limitations, universal manhood suffrage, and labor reform, soldiers and bureaucrats, in particular, continued to press for a return to the traditional conception of state that emphasized empire, authoritarian government, and armed might.

		Japanese women had not been treated as equals to men for historical and cultural reasons throughout most of Japanese history, and were inspired by this provision.
		While the 1946 Constitution strengthened the Japanese judiciary and made it more independent, the American drafters were concerned about the possibility of judicial tyranny because of their recent experiences with the âold horsemenâ of the United States Supreme Court during the New Deal Era.
		No Japanese Supreme Court judge has ever been removed by the ballot because the average age of their appointment to the Supreme Court is 64, their mandatory retirement age is 70, and therefore no one remains on the bench at the next round of review ten years later.

		Although the chief cabinet secretary does not have ministerial rank, the position is influential within the cabinet because of its coordination role.

	One Hand Clapping » Blog Archive » Atom bombings and contemporary context
		Emperor Hirohito’s role in the workings and edicts of the cabinet was strictly prescribed by ancient tradition plus severe restraints emplaced on royal authority as Japan had westernized in the latter half of the 19th century.
		However, all cabinet members were concretely agreed that no peace could be acceptable that did not leave intact the office and symbols of the emperor.
		Although American and Japanese historians continue to debate the issue, my readings lead me to conclude that the bombings were seized on by Hirohito and like-minded cabinet members as the handle to end the war to avoid revolution.
