[Basic Course (90 minutes)] 1. About Meiji Shrine
In the late 19th century, Japan underwent a major transformation from the autocratic Tokugawa Shogunate to a constitutional state, and the class system was abolished.
This peaceful revolution was made possible in part by the Emperor’s authority being recognized above that of the Shogun.
Emperor Meiji played a central role in this transition, and Meiji Shrine is dedicated to honoring him and his wife, Empress Shoken.
