Crosses between religious and political genealogies

     While as a constitutional convention, sharing roles between religious authority and political power has been established  in the Japanese history, we can find some exceptional events deviating from this convention.

     Whenever these deviations occured, the Japanese suffered from serious disturbances spliting themselves into hostile camps or faced life-or death question for the nation, the reign of the Godaigo-Tennou who directly governed the nation for a while in the 14th century, the age of wars when Nobunaga Oda, a warlord of the Sengoku finally tried to  shift the nation to centralism in the 16th century, and the Meiji revolution in the later 19th ctentury, and so on.

    We will introduce these Japanese historical turbulences from tomorrow.
