Schirokauer 1978- “all classes high and low shall unite”
“fulfill their aspirations”
Kokutai no Hongi- “The emperor is the fountainhood of Japan's life and activities; to receive the emperor's great august Will as one's own is the rationale of making our historical "life" live in the present.”
Kokutai no Hongi- “That is, it can be said that in both the Occident and our country, the deadlock of individualism has led alike to a season of ideological and social confusion and crisis”
