#Headline Creation Challenge#The Emperor of Japan, the supreme leader of ancient Japan, wields unparalleled power in Japan.
During the Heian period, although the emperor was still the supreme authority in Japan, in fact, the actual control of politics and military gradually fell into the hands of other forces, such as nobles and warlords. With the progress of society, the power of the Japanese emperor gradually fell.
During the Middle Ages, political and military power had largely shifted to the Japanese samurai class and local lords, and the position of the emperor was shaky.
The Meiji Restoration brought about tremendous changes in Japanese politics and society. Although the Japanese emperor has not yet fallen, and is still the core of Japan's political system on the surface, in fact, Japan has been controlled by the government and the military, and the emperor has been completely erected.
Japan was defeated and surrendered
After World War II, Japan was defeated and adopted a new constitution that redefined the emperor, "the symbol of the nation" and the "symbol of unity".
Since then, the Emperor of Japan has become a symbolic title without authority.
Now in Japan, the Emperor of Japan has been reduced to a symbolic title, but he is significant and an important cultural core of Japan, which represents Japanese history and culture, traditions and values.

Therefore, even in modern times, the Japanese government and people still highly respect and cherish the Japanese emperor.
