The rulers of Japan have been referred to as 'emperors', throughout Japan's history, beginning with the emperors of the Yamato period (early fifth to early 6th centuries) to the emperors of 539 AD to the present.
Emperor Meiji and his Meiji Restoration restored de-facto imperial rule to Japan in 1868. Although there were emperors of Japan before the Meiji Restoration, the restoration consolidated the political system under whoever was the reigning emperor. Beginning in the late Edo Period (also known as the Late Tokugawa Shogunate), the Meiji Restoration brought enormous political, social, industrial, and military changes. Lasting from 1868-1912, Emperor Meiji was responsible for the emergence of Japan as a modernized nation in the early 20th century.
