In the 1860s, Japan, which had been ruled by samurai feudalism for more than 600 years, ushered in great changes.
Under the impact of Western industrial civilization, Japan carried out a top-down, capitalist-style reform movement of total Westernization and modernization.
It was a successful reform, and politically, Emperor Meiji established a new government and established a constitutional monarchy.
Economically, Japan has embarked on a wave of industrialization and vigorously developed education.
This reform made Japan the first country in Asia to embark on the road of industrialization and became one of the world's great powers.
The success of the Meiji Restoration was indispensable to the efforts of many people.
Such as the Restoration Hero and the Fallen Curtain Restoration Movement activist Sakamoto Ryoma.
Such as "Bismarck of the Orient" and the first statesman of the Meiji Restoration, Ōkubo Ritsuru.
And, of course, there was the emperor at the time, Emperor Meiji.
Among Japan's many emperors, Emperor Meiji was a great emperor, one of the best politicians in Japanese history, and an important leader who led Japan into modernization.
Emperor Meiji's empress was empress dowager Ichijo, Empress Shoken, and an important female figure in the Meiji Restoration.
Born on May 9, 1849, Miko Ichijo was the daughter of a left minister, Ichijo Tadaka, and was more than three years older than Emperor Meiji.
At the age of 14, Emperor Meiji ascended to the throne, and Ichimiko was the empress chosen by the ministers for Emperor Meiji.
Miko Ichigo is very good-looking, and at the same time, she performs very well in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and calligraphy, and her level of tea ceremony and song is outstanding, and her cleverness makes her known as "Tengu Lady" by Emperor Meiji.
During emperor Meiji's life, Miko played a very important role, and she also took the example of Empress Li Shimin, the eldest grandson of Emperor Taizong of Tang during the Tang Dynasty, and learned from him to become a virtuous queen.
And Miko did it, proving with her life that she could.
Miko is very talented and a successful female artist.
During Miko's lifetime, she wrote 30,000 japanese songs, and after her death, she left behind a "Imperial Collection of Empress Zhaoxian".
At the same time, Miko also wrote the school song for Tokyo Women's Normal College herself.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Miko did not have children in her life, leaving no children, and Emperor Meiji could only take many concubines in order to pass on the lineage.
