The People’s Emperor
Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945–1995
Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945–1995
Few institutions are as well suited as the monarchy to provide a window on postwar Japan. The monarchy, which is also a family, has been significant both as a political and as a cultural institution. Ruoff analyzes numerous issues, stressing the monarchy's "postwarness" rather than its traditionality.
