In a narrow sense, "emperor system" refers to the monarchy or the emperor-centered system in the Constitution of the Empire of Japan. In a broad sense, "Emperor system" includes even the Symbolic Emperor System [ja].[1]
Under Empire of Japan's political system, which called for the legitimacy of political domination by Tennō rule, the term "Emperor system" was officially prohibited; it became an academic term when free discussions on the term "Emperor system" were held in postwar Japan and research papers using the term "Emperor system" were published.[1]
