[Japan n.d. ca.1880]. A photograph, ca. 9 x 4 cm.,very clean b.w. photo of the Emperor in his Imperial uniform, with many medals and holding a sword, while seated, clear, good image, postcard size and format, ca. 9 x 14 cm., collotype photo. This photograph shows the Emperor seated, resting both of his arms on the armrest, with his feathered cap adjacent. The rather young Emperor looks very fit, with short-cropped hair, and sporting a goatee and partial beard, & moustache. Original photographs of the Emperor are scarce. See Worswick below. . A very good example the Meiji Emperor, who's reign meant "Enlightened Rule." * Emperor Meiji [aka Meiji-tenno] (November 3, 1852 -July 30, 1912) was the 122nd emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from February 3, 1867 until his death. * His personal name was Mutsuhito . Like all his predecessors, he has been known by a posthumous name since his death. Upon his death a new tradition of giving the late emperor the name of the era coinciding with his reign was established. Having ruled during the Meiji era (Enlightened rule), he is now known as Emperor Meiji. Although he is sometimes referred to as Mutsuhito or Emperor Mutsuhito outside of Japan, Japanese emperors are only referred to by their posthumous names in Japan. Use of an emperor's personal name would be considered too familiar, or even derogatory. * At the time of his birth in 1852, Japan was an isolated, pre-industrial, feudal country dominated by the Tokugawa Shogunate and the daimyo, who ruled over the country's more than 250 decentralized domains. By the time of his death in 1912, Japan had undergone a political, social, and industrial revolution at home (See Meiji Restoration) and emerged as one of the great powers on the world stage. * Emperor Meiji was the surviving son of Emperor Komei by the lady-in-waiting Nakayama Yoshiko (1834-1907), the daughter of Lord Nakayama Tadayasu, sometime minister of the left (Sadaijin) and a scion of the Fujiwara. He was born eight months before the arrival of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry and the United States squadron of "Black Ships" in Edo Bay and two years before the first of the unequal treaties which the Tokugawa shogunate signed with Perry. Originally titled Sachi no miya (Prince Sachi), the future emperor spent most of his childhood at the Nakayama household in Kyoto, as it was customary to entrust the upbringing of imperial children to prominent court members. * He was formally adopted by Asako Nyogo (later Empress Dowager Eisho), the principal consort of Emperor Komei, on 11 July 1860. He also received the personal name Mutsuhito, the rank of shinno (imperial prince, and thus a potential successor to the throne) and the title of Kotaishi (Crown Prince) on the same day. Crown Prince Mutsuhito acceded to the throne on 3 February 1867 at the age of fourteen. Later that year, the era was changed to Meiji, or "Enlightened rule," which was later used for his posthumous name. This marked the beginning of the tradition of proclaiming one era for the entire reign of an emperor, and posthumously naming him after the era over which he ruled. * On 2 September 1867, Emperor Meiji married Masako (later renamed Haruko) (28 May 1849-19 April 1914), the third daughter of Lord Ichijo Tadaka, sometime minister of the left (Sadaijin). Known posthumously as Empress Shoken, she was the first imperial consort to receive the title of kogo (literally, the emperor's wife, translated as empress consort), in several hundred years. Although she was the first Japanese empress consort to play a public role, she bore no children. However, Emperor Meiji had fifteen children by five official ladies-in-waiting. Only five of his children, a prince born to Lady Naruko (1855-1943), the daughter of Yanagiwara Mitsunaru, and four princesses born to Lady Sachiko (1867-1947), the eldest daughter of Count Sono Motosachi, lived to adulthood. They were: * Crown Prince Yoshihito (Haru no miya Yoshihito Shinno), 3rd son, (31 August 1879-25 December 1926) (see Emperor Taisho). * Princess Masako (Tsune no miya Masako Naishinno), 6th daughter, (30 September 1888-8 March 1940), titled Tsune no miya (Princess Tsune) until marriage; at Imperial Palace, Tokyo, 30 April 1908 Prince Takeda Tsunehisa (Takeda no miya Tsunehisa o, 22 September 1882-23 April 1919), and had issue (offspring). Princess Fusako (Kane no miya Fusako Naishinno), 7th daughter, (28 January 1890-11 August 1974), titled Kane no miya (Princess Kane) until marriage; m. at Imperial Palace, Tokyo 29 April 1909 Prince Kitashirakawa Naruhisa (Kitashirakawa no miya Naruhisa o, 1 April 1887-2 April 1923), and had issue. . Princess Nobuko (Fumi no miya Nobuko Naishinno), 8th daughter, (7 August 1891-3 November 1933); titled Fumi no miya (Princess Fumi) until marriage; m. at Imperial Palace, Tokyo 6 May 1909 Prince Asaka Yasuhiko (Asaka no miya Yasuhiko o, 2 October 1887-13 April 1981), and had issue. Princess Toshiko (Yasu no miya Toshiko Naishinno), 9th daughter, (11 May 1896-5 March 1978); titled Yasu no miya (Princess Yasu) until marriage; m. at Imperial Palace, Tokyo 18 May 1915 Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko (Higashikuni no miya Naruhiko ô, 3 December 1887-20 January 1990), and had issue. * Emperor Meiji was the symbolic leader of the Meiji Restoration, in which the Tokugawa shogunate was abolished by Imperial forces following the Boshin War. The Charter Oath, a five-point statement of the nature of the new government, abolished feudalism and proclaimed a modern democratic government for Japan. Although a parliament was formed, it had no real power, and neither did Emperor Meiji. Power had passed from the Tokugawa into the hands of those Daimyo and other samurai who had led the Restoration. Japan was thus controlled by the Genro, an oligarchy, which comprised the most powerful men of the military, political, and economic spheres. Emperor Meiji, if nothing else, showed greater political longevit.
