Saionji Kinmochi was an aristocrat, a scholar and a progressive
liberal politician who twice occupied the highest political office
in the nation and who, during three decades, as adviser to three
Emperors, coordinated and directed Japanese politics. His long life
encompassed the emergence of the modern Japanese state, the
establishment of the constitution, the integration of Japan into
the inter-war, international community and the creation, and
subsequent erosion of the democratic process. The story of his
twilight years chronicles the conflicts between the goals of
liberalism and internationalism which dominated Japanese politics
in the 1920s and the right-wing militarism which held sway in the
years leading to the Pacific War. He was a central figure in the
turbulent, formative period of Japan's political ideology.
