概要	In the post war period, the symbolic emperor system of the Japanese Constitution has developed in its own way through shrewd adaptation and harmonization with popular sovereignty, within the context of Japan’s particular political climate. Looking back on the history of monarchy, in nineteenth-century Europe we find several types of constitutional monarchy, such as the German-style “constitutional monarchy,” the British-style “parliamentary monarchy,” and the French-style “moderative power monarchy”. Comparable to these, the symbolic emperor system formed under the Constitution of Japan in the latter half of the twentieth century can be said to present a new genre of modern monarchy that we may refer to as a “symbolic monarchy.” This article will consider the origins of the symbolic emperor system and its traditional Japanese characteristics by examining the origin, acceptance, and international spread of the “symbol” provision in Article 1 of the Japanese Constitution.
