		The health of the new emperor was weak, which prompted the shift in political power from the old oligarchic clique of "elder statesmen" (genro) to the parliament and the democratic parties.
		Thus, the era is considered the time of the liberal movement known as the "Taisho democracy" in Japan; it is usually distinguished from the preceding chaotic Meiji Era and the following militarism-driven Showa Era.

		Therefore the emperor was put in the paradoxical position of being a constitutional monarch and as the bestower of the constitution to the people.
		In his article "The Showa Era (1926-1989)," Masataka Kosaka explains the role of the emperor in the Meiji Constitution as the centre of politics (Article I) because the new government needed the traditional imperial authority to unify the nation (Gluck, 38).
		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.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		The imperial messages of Aug. 15, 1945, concluding hostilities in WORLD WAR II, and of Jan. 1, 1946, declaring that the Emperor is a mortal, were epoch-making events in the history of Japan.
		The constitution of 1947 determined that the Emperor would not have political power but would remain a symbol of Japan; sovereign power would lie with the people, war would be abandoned, and fundamental human rights would be guaranteed.
		Thus, during the long and eventful reign of the Showa Emperor, Japan emerged from a period of military expansion, culminating in national tragedy, and entered a new period of international cooperation during which it became one of the world's three greatest economic powers.

	Hirohito Summary
		In the immediate aftermath of the war, many believed that Emperor Shōwa was an evil mastermind behind the war, while others claimed that he was simply a powerless figurehead, and that the real power lay with Hideki Tojo.
		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.
		He was purposely vague, because the Emperor of Japan clearly could not be regarded merely as a human saying "We surrender to the Americans"; he had to be viewed as the godly leader of Japan, so when he said "accept the unacceptable", most people sitting by the radio didn't know what he meant.

		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.
