TaishĹŤ period



The Taishō period (Japanese: 大正時代, Taishō-jidai, "period of great righteousness"), or Taishō era, is a period in the history of Japan dating from 30 July 1912 to 25 December 1926, which coincides exactly with the reign of Emperor Taishō. The health of the new emperor was weak, which prompted the shift in political power from the old oligarchic group of "elder statesmen" (元老 genrō) to the Diet (国会) and the democratic parties.
