“THE MEIJI RESTORATION OCCURRED AMID A GLOBAL POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION: THE RISE OF NATIONALISM AND NATION-STATES. THE WORLD’S GREAT MULTI-ETHNIC EMPIRES-OTTOMAN, QING, ROMANOV, AND HAPSBURG-WERE ON THE DECLINE, BESIEGED FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT. THEY WERE CHALLENGED BY A NEW TYPE OF POLITY, THE NATION-STATE. UNLIKE THE DECLINING EMPIRES, NATION-STATES ASSERTED AN ESSENTIAL CULTURAL IDENTITY BETWEEN RULER AND RULED.“
MARK RAVINA
MEIJI ISHIN / 明治維新 / THE MEIJI RESTORATION, REFERRED TO AT THE TIME AS THE HONORABLE RESTORATION / 御一新 / GOISSHIN, AND ALSO KNOWN AS THE MEIJI REVOLUTION, RENOVATION, REFORM, OR RENEWAL, WAS A POLITICAL EVENT THAT RESTORED PRACTICAL IMPERIAL RULE TO JAPAN IN 1868 UNDER EMPEROR MEIJI / 明治天皇.
ALTHOUGH THERE WERE RULING EMPERORS BEFORE THE MEIJI RESTORATION, THE EVENTS RESTORED PRACTICAL ABILITIES AND CONSOLIDATED THE POLITICAL SYSTEM UNDER THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN. THE GOALS OF THE RESTORED GOVERNMENT WERE EXPRESSED BY THE NEW EMPEROR IN THE CHARTER OATH / 五箇条の御誓文.
THE CHARTER OATH / 五箇条の御誓文 / GOKAJŌ NO GOSEIMON, MORE LITERALLY, THE OATH IN FIVE ARTICLES WAS PROMULGATED ON 6 APRIL 1868 IN KYOTO IMPERIAL PALACE. THE OATH OUTLINED THE MAIN AIMS AND THE COURSE OF ACTION TO BE FOLLOWED DURING EMPEROR MEIJI’S REIGN, SETTING THE LEGAL STAGE FOR JAPAN’S MODERNIZATION. THIS ALSO SET UP A PROCESS OF URBANIZATION AS PEOPLE OF ALL CLASSES WERE FREE TO MOVE JOBS SO PEOPLE WENT TO THE CITY FOR BETTER WORK. IT REMAINED INFLUENTIAL, IF LESS FOR GOVERNING THAN INSPIRING, THROUGHOUT THE MEIJI ERA AND INTO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, AND CAN BE CONSIDERED THE FIRST CONSTITUTION OF MODERN JAPAN.
AS THE NAME IMPLIES, THE TEXT OF THE OATH CONSISTS OF FIVE CLAUSES:
BY THIS OATH, WE SET UP AS OUR AIM THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL WEALTH ON A BROAD BASIS AND THE FRAMING OF A CONSTITUTION AND LAWS.
1. DELIBERATIVE ASSEMBLIES SHALL BE WIDELY ESTABLISHED AND ALL MATTERS DECIDED BY OPEN DISCUSSION.
2. ALL CLASSES, HIGH AND LOW, SHALL BE UNITED IN VIGOROUSLY CARRYING OUT THE ADMINISTRATION OF AFFAIRS OF STATE.
3. THE COMMON PEOPLE, NO LESS THAN THE CIVIL AND MILITARY OFFICIALS, SHALL ALL BE ALLOWED TO PURSUE THEIR OWN CALLING SO THAT THERE MAY BE NO DISCONTENT.
4. EVIL CUSTOMS OF THE PAST SHALL BE BROKEN OFF AND EVERYTHING BASED UPON THE JUST LAWS OF NATURE.
5. KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE SOUGHT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SO AS TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATION OF IMPERIAL RULE.
THE RESTORATION LED TO ENORMOUS CHANGES IN JAPAN’S POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND SPANNED BOTH THE LATE EDO PERIOD / 江戸時代 (OFTEN CALLED THE BAKUMATSU / 幕末 / “END OF THE BAKUFU“) AND THE BEGINNING OF THE MEIJI ERA / .
DURING THE RESTORATION, JAPAN RAPIDLY INDUSTRIALIZED AND ADOPTED WESTERN IDEAS AND PRODUCTION METHODS.
