Then, under what ideas did the Meiji and Showa constitutions define the Emperor? This book combines the immortal masterpiece that once astonished the academic world, "A Study of the National Polity Law," which already has classical value, and the later written "The Emperor's Law in the Constitution of Japan," and was first published in 1972, causing a great sensation. After being out of stock for a long time, it has now been reprinted in response to the needs of thoughtful researchers. Scholars and researchers who intend to discuss the constitution, national polity, and the Emperor's Law are urged to read this book now.
