	Meiji period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inasmuch as the Meiji Restoration had sought to return the emperor to a preeminent position, efforts were made to establish a Shinto-oriented state much like the state of 1,000 years earlier.
		One of the Meiji oligarchy, Ito Hirobumi (1841–1909), a Chōshū native long involved in government affairs, was charged with drafting Japan's constitution.
		The Meiji Constitution was to last as the fundamental law until 1947.

	The Yamato Dynasty
		The Meiji Restoration was followed by other dramatic changes, and in only a few decades Japan was transformed into a world power, today the second biggest economic force on the planet.
		As one of Meiji's grandsons exclaimed, they are like "caged birds." Japan might be liberated from centuries of feudal samurai dictatorship, and be thoroughly modern in most other respects, but the Sons of Heaven, and heaven's daughters, remain hostages of the past.
		Meiji was a formal reign title chosen later when he became emperor.

	[CTRL] Fwd: YAMATO DYNASTY
		Historically, the Yamato dynasty was founded in the first century AD by a witch named Himiko, a priestess with unusual powers who had her court in the Yamato river valley near what is today Kyoto.
		When the shoguns were toppled in the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan's new strongmen gained control of the current Son of Heaven, a boy of 15, and announced that the whole country had "submitted to rule by the divine emperor." This was sheer bluff.
		During the Meiji coup, real power simply was transfered from one ruthless backstage clique to another, and the boy emperor was moved from Kyoto to the shogun's palace in Tokyo.

	MEIJI JAPAN, 1868-1911: GOVERNMENT’S ROLE IN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND THE RISE OF MITSUI ZAIBATSU
		But when this world started to crumble under the stress of internal and external threat, the Choson dynasty was unable to change namely because it realized the necessity of reforms too late and did too little in the face of foreign threats, declining legitimacy and depleting financial recourses.
		First, the Meiji Restoration changed society dramatically; Dan Takuma, the head executive of Mitsui, was assassinated in the early 1930s amidst violent anti-zaibatsu ferment; then the monopoly of prewar zaibatsu was abolished by the General Headquarters of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the wake of the Second World War.
		What went right in Meiji Restoration?: The answer is both “little went right” and “everything went right.” Little went right because the Meiji government was faced with unique circumstances and did not know how to navigate the country to economic prosperity.

		Meiji Japan was dedicated to the modernization and Westernization of Japan.
		The Meiji government had little real enthusiasm for democracy, however — the Japanese constitution was modeled on the Prussian one (probably the most autocratic Western one outside of Russia), with notably broad powers granted to the emperor.
		The fact that Japan was able to throw off the Tokugawa dynasty within 15 years of Perry's arrival with his warships, while in China it took 70 years after the Opium War for significant political changes to occur, meant that Japan was able to make drastic changes faster.
