"The Japanese Monarchy, 1931-1991", which created a sensation when first published in Japanese, clarifies US policies toward Japan's symbol emperor system before, during and after World War II. As American ambassador to Japan from 1932 to 1945, Joseph Clark Grew had contacts with groups close to the emperor as well as leading "moderates". Returning to the US after the outbreak of the war, he made many speeches, first condemning Japanese aggression, but later changing his theme from war to peace, even to suggesting that the emperor would be a key asset in stabilising Japanese society after the war, a view which was widely criticised at the time. Later, as under secretary of state, Grew came to play an important role in the formation of postwar US policy on Japan and the emperor. His view that the emperor was a pacifist who opposed and sought to end the war with the US and that thus postwar Japan should be reconstructed with the emperor and the moderates at the centre, was later adopted in the decision of Douglas MacArthur's occupation to preserve the emperor system. That the evolution of an ambassador's convictions could have such a significant impact, even to this day, on postwar US-Japan relations vividly illustrates the importance of truly understanding the history and culture of another country, whether friend or foe.

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. This comprehensive study analyzes numerous issues, including the role of individual emperors in shaping the institution, the manner in which the emperor’s constitutional position as symbol has been interpreted, the emperor’s intersection with politics through ministerial briefings, memories of Hirohito’s wartime role, nationalistic movements in support of Foundation Day and the reign-name system, and the remaking of the once sacrosanct throne into a "monarchy of the masses" embedded in the postwar culture of democracy. The author stresses the monarchy’s "postwarness," rather than its traditionality.

At the end of World War II and through the Allied occupation, the Allies deliberated whether to abolish or to preserve the Japanese Emperor system. This is a study of the transformation of Japan under the impact of the democratizing policy of a forceful military occupation from the West.

Speaking of the emperor of Japan, two iconic imprints will appear in the minds of Chinese readers: one is that the "emperor" of Japan is the same as the "emperor" in Chinese history, and the difference is only the title; the other is the emperor Hirohito of Japan During his reign, he had launched wars against China, North Korea, Southeast Asia, and even the United States. The expressions in Japanese are "Fifteen Years War", "Greater East Asian War", and "Paci ic War". However, after Japan's defeat in 1945, Emperor Hirohito was neither sentenced to war criminal by the Far East International Military Tribunal, nor was he prosecuted for "war responsibility." It is these two iconic marks that have brought many questions and confusions to Chinese readers. For example, when the emperor appeared in China, the time, place, and character were clear. After Qin Wang Yingzheng uni ied China in 221 BC, he was very proud and felt that he had overshadowed the "Three Emperors" and "Five Emperors", so it is like the popular "Internet +" today. In the same way, adding the character of "huang" of the three emperors and the character of "di" of the ive emperors together, the new title of "emperor" was created as the supreme ruler of the country. Then, he called himself the "Shi Huang" again, and attributed the "Zhen" that used to be used by high-ranking of icials and nobles as his own, thus opening the prelude to the "two thousand years of Chinese emperor history". In contrast, Japan's "two thousand years of emperor history" seems vague and ambiguous, and there is always a feeling of inexplicability. From the beginning of the emperor to the beginning of the emperor, historians have various opinions. Unlike Ma Qian, a Taishi company in the Han Dynasty in China, who suffered a great humiliation, he still felt the responsibility and inherited his father's will to study history. , In the "Historical Records", the irst of the "Twenty-Four History" of the emperor, "The Benji of Qin Shihuang" was written to sort out the "iron case" of history. The next topic should be when the Japanese emperor started, and whether his irst emperor came from China's Xu Fu. Mr. Hu Weiquan gave original answers one by one in the "Chrysanthemum Dynasty: Two Thousand Years of Japanese Emperor History".

Joseph Clark Grew was US ambassador to Japan 1931-42, and had significant influence on US policy toward postwar Japan as an undersecretary of state. Here is an account of his view of the emperor as a passivist opposed to the war, who should be at the center of a reformed Japanese government, and an exploration of the earlier contacts with moderates and merchants that led him to the position.

"With the ascension of a new emperor and the dawn of the Reiwa Era, Kenneth J. Ruoff has expanded upon and updated The People’s Emperor, his study of the monarchy’s role as a political, societal, and cultural institution in contemporary Japan. Many Japanese continue to define the nation’s identity through the imperial house, making it a window into Japan’s postwar history. Ruoff begins by examining the reform of the monarchy during the U.S. occupation and then turns to its evolution since the Japanese regained the power to shape it. To understand the monarchy’s function in contemporary Japan, the author analyzes issues such as the role of individual emperors in shaping the institution, the intersection of the monarchy with politics, the emperor’s and the nation’s responsibility for the war, nationalistic movements in support of the monarchy, and the remaking of the once-sacrosanct throne into a “people’s imperial house” embedded in the postwar culture of democracy. Finally, Ruoff examines recent developments, including the abdication of Emperor Akihito and the heir crisis, which have brought to the forefront the fragility of the imperial line under the current legal system, leading to calls for reform."
