Many people think that the emperor of japan is a head of state from ancient times to the present, but that the emperor is more like being set up in the temple than in the more than 600 years since the opening of the shogun palace (1185) to the edo palace (1867). The shogun general holds military power and controls tax revenues, and even the emperor's pocket money depends on the shogun's face. His majesty had tried to regain power and, in 1221, he had been beaten by the shogun army for three days. After the defeat, not only were they exiled, but even their three sons were forced to leave their homes as monks. It's not the emperor, it's a high-ranking prisoner. The shogun has even established that the emperor can only eat fish twice a month and that even the purchase of the royal house is authorized by the shogun, a moral humiliation more deadly than economic sanctions。
The shogun is playing power games to be pretty old. They gave the queen the law on the prohibition of public peace, which allows for the approval of anyone who wears or receives any colour of clothing. After the death of the emperor of sakura in 1762 and the succession of the 5-year-old emperor of peach garden, the shogun immediately arranged a “temporary shift” for the queen of sakura. The queen is not only not allowed to marry and have children (owing to the “inpurity” of the royal blood), but is under constant surveillance by the shogun. She wrote in her diary later in the year: “if she had not seen the sun, she would have endured darkness” and would have been sorely overwhelmed by power. What is even more absurd is that when she wants to make a visitation road for a seriously ill mother, she must first write a petition to the shogun, and when the mother dies — no more cruel than the power to hang and hang. While the slogan “the king is back in time” was loud and clear at the time of the new mingjiwe, the emperor was still rubber-coated by the new government that overthrowed the shogun. The five vows of 1868 seem to leave the emperor to rule, while the emperor is run by samar and longzhou warlords. It was not until a new constitution was promulgated in 1947 that the emperor truly became a “state symbol”. This historical mirror: when power is monopolized by a few, the sacred title is nothing but a fine cage. The power streams that are not written in textbooks are the key password for understanding japan's recent transformation。
