Japanese emperors justified their divinity through the belief in their descent from the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu, which established a sacred lineage. This divine ancestry was reinforced by the imperial family's role as spiritual leaders, performing rituals that connected the nation to the gods. Additionally, the concept of kami (spiritual beings) in Shintoism further supported the idea that the emperor was a living deity, embodying the nation's spiritual essence. This belief system fostered loyalty and unity among the Japanese people throughout history.
