Japan is a society whose culture is steeped in the traditions and symbols of the past: Mt. Fuji, 
the tea ceremony, and 
the sacred objects of nature revered in Shintoism. Two of the most important traditions and symbols in 
Japan; the Emperor 
and Confucianism have endured through Shogunates, restorations of imperial rule, and up to present day. 
The leaders of the 
Meiji Restoration used these traditions to gain control over Japan and further their goals of 
modernization. The Meiji leaders 
used the symbolism of the Emperor to add legitimacy to their government, by claiming that they were 
ruling under the 
"Imperial Will." They also used Confucianism to maintain order and force the Japanese people to passively 
accept their rule.

their rule. The symbolism of 
the Japanese Emperor is very powerful and is wrapped up in a mix of religion (Shintoism) and myths. 
According to Shintoism 
the current Emperor is
