Emperor Meiji (明治天皇)

The Meiji emperor (1852–1912), enshrined at Meiji Jingu.

Emperor Meiji reigned from 1867 until his death in 1912, the period in which Japan's government, economy and international position were reorganised. He is enshrined together with his consort, Empress Shōken, at Meiji Jingu in Tokyo, which was dedicated in 1920. He was also a prolific poet: the shrine draws the verses on its omikuji from more than 93,000 poems attributed to him.
