Kagawa Toyohiko to Hirohito, Emperor of Japan, 1946


"Whosoever will be great among you ... shall be the servant of all.  A ruler's sovereignty, Your Majesty, is in the hearts of the people.  Only by service to others can a man, or a nation, be godlike." Kagawa Toyohiko to Hirohito, Emperor of Japan, 1946, in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Today, 29 April, is the birthday of Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989).  In Shinto, the official state religion of Japan, Emperor Hirohito was regarded to be a deity, a lineal descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu omikami.
