my master

Japanese novelist Ryotaro Shiba.
(He is gone now.)
　
I watched a TV program that he appeared.
He was talking about Japan of the early 20th century.
　
Constitution of Japan at that time was "Constitution of the Empire of Japan".
Constitution of Japan was revised to "Constitution of Japan" after the defeat of 1945.

By the way this constitution was pressed against the United States.
There are such opinions.

"However"
Shiba san said.
　
"Constitution that meets to the feelings of the Japanese in the first place.
It is Constitution of Japan.
I think so."
　
"However"
　
Constitution of the Empire of Japan.
This constitution was not never too bad.

However，supreme command to Japan's military is owned by the Emperor only.
There was this sentence in constitution.

　
"We are a direct vassal of the emperor.
Do not need to listen to the opinions of others."
The upper part of the military was became defy gradually the will of the government and parliament.　

”Person who can order to us is the Emperor only.
Do not interfere us."
They did run their own ambitions in the name of the Emperor.
　
Japanese emperor is called Tenno.
Of course it's the same at that time.
　

All Japanese people.
They called him ”Tenno.”
Of course also Prime Minister called like that.

Only the upper part of the military was called Emperor ”Okami”.
About meaning of Okami is ”My master”.
