The role of the emperor of Japan has historically alternated between that of a supreme-rank [[cleric]] with largely symbolic powers and that of an actual imperial ruler. An underlying [[imperial cult]] (the idea of [[Arahitogami]]) regards the emperor as being descended from gods. Until 1945, the Japanese monarchs had always been, officially, military commanders. However, contrary to the usual role of a Western [[Emperor#Roman Emperors|monarch]], they did not practically function as such. Japanese emperors have nearly always been controlled by other political forces, to varying degrees.
