เกี่ยวกับ
Emperor Meiji (明治天皇, 1852–1912), personal name Mutsuhito, was the 122nd emperor of Japan under whose reign the country transformed from an isolated feudal state into a modern nation. The Meiji Restoration (1868) abolished the shogunate, restored imperial rule, and set Japan on a path of rapid modernization.
Following his death in 1912, the emperor was enshrined at Meiji Jingu in Tokyo (dedicated 1920), which became the most-visited shrine in Japan. His consort Empress Shoken was enshrined alongside him. Meiji Jingu was constructed through a nationwide movement that planted and tended the shrine's famous forest.
As a deified spirit, Emperor Meiji is venerated as a guardian of national progress, cultural development, and the well-being of the Japanese people. His legacy encompasses the Meiji Constitution, the creation of modern institutions, and Japan's emergence as a major world power.
