Why does the Japanese Mikado system always exist?

The emperor is the title of Japanese monarch, the head of state and the symbol of the country. The Emperor is the monarch who has ruled for the longest time in the history of the world (the book records the first 660 years). Because it is considered to be different from ordinary Japanese (in Shinto, the emperor is a descendant of the gods, so he has divinity), the emperor and his family have no surname (known as the emperor in history), and the Japanese Constitution does not give him citizenship. Although the Japanese emperor after Hirohito has completely given up the "divinity" endowed by history, most Japanese still think that the emperor represents the "country".

Because the emperor has existed since ancient times, from the primitive times, he declared that the emperor was the son of the gods and entrusted by destiny to manage Japanese islands. For thousands of years, it has maintained the rule of the emperor. Even in heian period, where his spouse Fujiwara was in power, or during the shogunate era, the Emperor was not abandoned. He became an international symbol and the hope of the people. The Japanese royal family is the oldest royal family in the world, and it is called the "eternal family". Indeed. Even if there is no real power, it has never been replaced.

After World War II, Americans wanted to abolish the Emperor, but for fear of causing a strong rebound in Japan, they let the Emperor publish the "Manifesto on Earth", which shattered the myth of the emperor's deism. Now the emperor exists as a national symbol and national pillar of Japan.
