Monarchy of Imperial Japan

Updated: 10 Sep 2013

The Emperor of Japan is the ceremonial monarch in Japan's system of constitutional monarchy and is the head of the Japanese Imperial Family. According to Japan's 1947 constitution, which dissolved the Empire of Japan, he is "the symbol of the state and of the unity of the people." He is also the highest authority of the Shinto religion as he and his family are said to be direct descendants of Amaterasu. The Emperor is called the Tennō (天皇) in Japanese, which means "heavenly sovereign". He is also referred to in English as the Mikado (帝) of Japan. Currently, the Emperor of Japan is the only remaining monarch in the world reigning under the title of "Emperor". The Imperial House of Japan is the oldest continuing hereditary monarchy in the world.In Kojiki or Nihon Shoki, a book of Japanese history finished in the eighth century, it is said that the Empire of Japan was founded in 660 BC by Emperor Jimmu. The current Emperor is Akihito, who has been on the Chrysanthemum Throne since his father the Showa Emperor (Hirohito) died in 1989. The role of the Emperor of Japan has, historically, alternated between a largely ceremonial symbolic role and that of an actual imperial ruler. Since the establishment of the first shogunate in 1192, the Emperors of Japan have rarely taken on a role as supreme battlefield commander, unlike many Western monarchs. Japanese Emperors have nearly always been controlled by external political forces, to varying degrees. In fact, from 1192 to 1867, the shoguns, or their shikken regents in Kamakura (1203--1333), were the de facto rulers of Japan, although they were nominally appointed by the Emperor. The Emperor was, officially, the embodiment of all sovereign power in the realm, from 1889 to 1947, under the Meiji Constitution (and de facto from the end of the shogunate in 1867). His current status as a figurehead dates from the 1947 Constitution, which dissolved the Empire of Japan. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the Imperial Palace has been called Kyūjō (宮城), then Kōkyo (皇居), and is located on the former site of Edo Castle in the heart of Tokyo. Earlier, Emperors resided in Kyoto for nearly eleven centuries. The Emperor's Birthday (currently celebrated on 23 December) is a national holiday.

Video excerpts from the teachings of Imam Abdessalam Yassine at meetings held regularly in the headquarters of the Justice and Spirituality Association (Al Adl Wal Ihssan) in Salé, Morocco. Imam Abdessalam Yassine, may God rest his soul, initiated (in the 70's) and courageously upheld a critical approach to the history of Islam. He proposes a critical appraisal of the history of Muslims and stresses the defining turning point that the usurpation of legitimate power by hereditary monarchy represented; this earned him years of imprisonment and house arrest. He is the founder of a school of thought whose aim is essentially to re-establish the spiritual dimension of Islam and practices such as (Ribat, dhikr, congregational prayer, vigil) and combine this with the concern for social justice.

The reigning monarch, with three future kings - a quartet who, between them, in all probability, will occupy the British throne for considerably more than 100 years. For all the eye-catching charm of the photograph of George with his arms in the air, beneath the beaming smiles of his mother and father, it is the "four monarchs" photograph that can genuinely be said to have an historic significance. One imagines it must be pleasing for the Queen to have a sense of who will follow her so far into the future. It is also the most visual of evidence of what the continuity of hereditary monarchy actually means. A century on from now, history will be able to judge the achievements of all of those in todays pictures, from the oldest to the youngest.
