    Notes For complete author names, titles, and publication data for works cited here in short form, see the Works Cited list at the back of the book. Introduction 1. It is problematic to use the term “emperor” to describe the monarch throughout most of Japanese history. As Joan R. Piggott reminds us in The Emergence of Japanese Kingship, “The term empire is strongly associated with a martial political formation founded on conquest” (8). For most of Japanese history, Japanese monarchs did not preside over empires. The monarchs of Imperial Japan (1890–1945)did rule over an empire that came to include numerous overseas possessions, however. In the case of Hirohito (r. 1926–89), he ascended to the throne as the sovereign of an empire, and thus the term “emperor” is an appropriate title for him for the period from 1926 to 1945. Strictly speaking, the term “emperor” does not describe Japan’s monarch since 1945, for Japan no longer has an empire and the monarch does not even remain sovereign. In the end, however, I decided to use the term “emperor” (as well as terms such as “monarch”) for the postwar period in part because it seemed confusing to switch back and forth between “emperor” for the prewar period and, say, “king” for the postwar period, and also because it served to highlight one of the most important transwar continuities regarding the Japanese throne: Hirohito, who ascended to the throne with the mindset of a sovereign emperor, remained on the throne even as the Japanese empire collapsed and the politico-legal system defining his position underwent sweeping reform.

    Tudors to Windsors: British Royal Portraits 16 March – 14 July Chris Levine, Queen Elizabeth II (Lightness of being), 2007 National Portrait Gallery, London • Founded in 1856, the National Portrait Gallery was the first gallery established exclusively for displaying portraiture. The Gallery’s collection includes a wide variety of works such as painting, sculpture, photography, prints and caricatures. Tudors to Windsors is the first time the NPG has toured their outstanding collection of royal portraiture. Bendigo Art Gallery has collaborated with the National Portrait Gallery on several occasions but this is by far the most extensive exhibition the NPG has ever sent to Australia and Bendigo Art Gallery is one of only two venues in the world, the other being Houston, Texas. The exhibition traces many of the major events in British history, examining the ways in which royal portraits were impacted by both the personalities of individual monarchs and wider historical change. The exhibition explores five royal dynasties, from the Tudors to the Windsors, and includes works by many of the most important artists to have worked in Britain. • Alongside the works of art from the National Portrait Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery has secured some additional loans to further explain the lives of these fascinating characters. Special loans from the Royal Armouries and Historic Royal Palaces add a further dimension to this exhibition. 1483-1603 Above after Titian, Philip II, king of Spain 1555, oil on panel Right after Hans Holbein the younger King Henry VIII, c.1540s, oil on wood panel Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide • The Tudors are one of the most famous royal dynasties in the world.

  • Long Lived the Queen!
    Long lived the Queen! Pre-reading Read the sentences below. What do you think? Are they true or false? 1. Queen Victoria was the longest reigning British monarch ever. 2. Her mother was German. 3. Her husband was German. 4. She spoke German at home as a child. 5. Victoria became Queen when she was 18. 6. Queen Victoria married for love. 7. She proposed to her husband. 8. Queen Victoria had no influence on British politics. 9. Queen Victoria had the title Empress of India. 10. She was the first monarch to live in Buckingham Palace. Now read the following texts to find out more about her. The many faces of Queen Victoria Until last year in May she held the record for the long- est reign of any queen in the world. She had also reigned longer than any other monarch in Britain. 5 Queen Elizabeth II overtook her in May 2015, manag- ing to stay on the throne longer than Queen Victoria’s reign of 63 years and 7 months. States (Victoria in Australia), towns, waterfalls, ships and buildings have all been named after Queen 10 Victoria as well as periods in history (the Victorian Age) and a code of conduct (Victorian morality). She is possibly best known as the “Grandmother of Europe” and you may be familiar with her saying, “We are not amused”, which she may not have actually 15 said, but certainly sums up people’s opinions of her as an outwardly tight-lipped person. But what kind of person was she really? And was she really as lacking in humour and joie de vivre as is commonly believed?
