I don't know what Meiji emperor do!.
But he was verry impotant to Japanese histry!.
1,He accepted founding!.
2,He was worshiped by Japanese!.
3,He wasn't be a dictator!.

Patriots changed Japan and used the authority of the emperor!.

In the 19th century, Europian and American Great Powers have gone into Asia!.In those day,Japanese Goverment Tokugawa shogunate kept national isolation!.
Japanese were verry surprise!.Shogunate knew their great power,tried stopped isolation!.By the way there were 2 rulers in Japan!.Substantial government shogunate,and Emperor!.Emperor had no power,but Japanese worshiped Emperor so,shogunate must needed emperor's Permission!.
But,Emperor in at that time hated Europian,he didn't permit!.
Shogunate had no time!.They accepted a request of founding from US without permit!.
Emperor and royalism party got angry,and Japanese strong feudal clan understood shogunate could not controle Japan,
they moved to excludes the foreign force power and made
emperor's country!.
As time has passed, Japanese intellectual and prominent have begun to understand the strength of Europe and United States!.They were afraid to be a colony like China!.
And emperor changed(to Meiji emperor)!.
After civil war Shogunate transferred power to an emperor!.

The Meiji emperor was the symbolic leader of the Meiji Restoration, in which the Tokugawa shogunate was abolished by Imperial forces following the Boshin War!. The Charter Oath, a five-point statement of the nature of the new government, abolished feudalism and proclaimed a modern democratic government for Japan!. Although a parliament was formed, it had no real power, and neither did the emperor!. Power had passed from the Tokugawa into the hands of those Daimyo and other samurai who had led the Restoration!. Japan was thus controlled by the Genro, an oligarchy, which comprised the most powerful men of the military, political, and economic spheres!.

The Meiji Restoration is a source of pride for the Japanese, as it and the accompanying industrialization allowed Japan to become the preeminent power in the Pacific and a major player in the world within a generation!. Yet, the Meiji emperor's role in the Restoration is debatable!. He certainly did not control Japan, but how much influence he wielded is unknown!. It is unlikely it will ever be clear whether he supported the Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) or the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905)!. One of the few windows we have into the Emperor's own feelings is his poetry, which seems to indicate a pacifist streak, or at least a man who wished war could be avoided!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
