  • The Japanese Constitution, promulgated on November 3, 1946, and enforced on May 3, 1947, stipulates that the Emperor's position is that of a "symbol." Traditionally, this was thought to have been established by Emperor Showa's "sacred decision" to accept this position. However, Professor Komiya, after analyzing new documents, has come to the conclusion that there was no such "sacred decision," and in 2025, he compiled his findings into a book that was published.
