Anti-monarchisminJapan (天皇制廃止論, Ten'nōsei haishi-ron, lit. "Emperor system abolition theory") or anti-Emperor system (反天皇制, Han ten'nōsei) was a minor force during the twentieth century.[citation needed]

History[edit]

In 1908, a letter allegedly written by Japanese revolutionaries denied the Emperor's divinity, and threatened his life.[1] In 1910, Kōtoku Shūsui and 10 others plotted to assassinate the Emperor.[2] In 1923, 1925 and 1932 Emperor Hirohito survived assassination attempts.[3]

After World War II, the communists were antagonistic to the Emperor. The Japanese Communist Party demanded the abolition of the emperor system.[4] They boycotted the formal opening of the National Diet in 1949 because of Emperor Shōwa's presence.[5] The Japanese Communist Party continued to be antagonistic after Emperor Shōwa's death in 1989.[6]

During the Imperial visits to Otsu, Japan in 1951, and Hokkaido in 1954, Communist posters and handbills antagonistic to the Imperial Family Members were plastered in the cities.[7][8]

In 1951, three thousand students in Kyoto University protested against Emperor Shōwa's continued reign.[9]
