Japan's political leadership has been characterized by a persistent division of labor between those who rule (political leaders) and those who symbolically reign (emperors). This division of labor was evident during the time of the shoguns, who had the real power despite the emperors technically holding the title of ruler. Even after Japan became a constitutional monarchy in the late 19th century, the emperor's role remained largely symbolic while political leaders held the actual power.
