English: As Emperor Juntoku stated in the "Kinpisho" (a book written by Emperor Juntoku, which records the history and origin of the Imperial Court's ceremonies and sets forth the rules and etiquette for carrying out such ceremonies) that consideration should be given to divine service before other manners at the Imperial Court, successive emperors have given the highest priority to Shinto rituals since the establishment of the country.
Japanese: 順徳天皇が『禁秘抄』で「禁中作法先神事」と述べたように、天皇は肇国以来「神事」を最優先してきた。
English: Court rituals which are performed in the Three Shrines in the Imperial Court consist of taisai (grand festivals), in which the Emperor himself conducts a ceremony and presents a message to the ancestors of the Imperial Family, and shosai (small festivals), in which the shoten-cho (the chief ritualist) conducts a ceremony and the Emperor bows his head in prayer.
Japanese: 宮中三殿で行われる祭祀には、天皇が自ら祭典を斎行し、御告文を奏上する大祭と、掌典長が祭典を行い、天皇が拝礼する小祭がある。
English: Most of the present-day festivals are the rituals that were formalized based on the Taiho Code, the Jogan-gishiki (a set of books of ceremonial procedures compiled in the Jogan era), and the Engishiki (an ancient Japanese book of administrative regulations and ceremonial procedures that was completed in 927) in the Meiji period.
Japanese: 現在行われている祭祀の多くは明治時代に大宝令、貞観儀式、延喜式などを継承して再編されたものである。
English: The renaissance and re-establishment of rituals, including the Harvest Festival, was actively pursued from the middle to the latter half of the Edo period, when the imperialism based on Mitogaku (the scholarship and academic traditions that arose in the Mito Domain) was enhanced.
Japanese: 水戸学に基づいた尊王論の高まりがあった江戸時代中・後期には新嘗祭など祭祀の再興・復興がさかんになった。
English: In the Meiji period, the revival of old festivals and the creation of new festivals were brought by the separation of Shinto and Buddhism and the deification of the Emperor that people regarded the Emperor as an 'arahitogami' (a living god).
Japanese: 明治時代になって、神仏分離や天皇の「現人神」としての神格化などがすすむと、祭祀の復興や新たな祭祀の創出が行われた。
English: In 1871, the Grand Council of State declared that Shinto shrines should be enshrined by the nation, and the Koshitsu Saishi Rei (the Ordinance of the Imperial Household Religious Rites), which defined Court rituals, was enacted as one of the Imperial Household Orders in 1908.
Japanese: には「神社は国家の宗祀」との太政官布告が出され、には宮中祭祀について定めた皇室祭祀令が皇室令の一つとして制定された。
English: Before World War II, the Ministry of Imperial Household administered the affairs of the Imperial Court, and its authority was almost equal to the authority of the Cabinet, which administered the government.
Japanese: 戦前の日本では、いわゆる「宮中」を司る宮内省は、「府中」を司る内閣とほぼ対等の権威を有していた。
English: Additionally, from the legal aspect of these institutes, the Constitution of the Empire of Japan, which handled the national administration and affairs, as well as various laws and ordinances established based on the Constitution equally coexisted with the former Imperial Household Law, which handled the Court affairs, and various Koshitsu-rei (the Imperial Household's Orders) under the Law.
Japanese: また、法制面でも国政国務の問題を扱う大日本帝国憲法及びこれに基づいて制定された諸法令と、宮中の問題を扱う旧皇室典範及びその下の様々な皇室令とが対等に分立していた。
English: After Japan was defeated in World War II in August 1945, the Allies demoted the Ministry of Imperial Household to the Imperial Household Office, which was later demoted again to the Imperial Household Agency, and they ranked the Imperial Household Law as one of general laws, which should be under the control of the Constitution of Japan.
Japanese: 昭和20年（1945年）8月に日本が敗戦すると、連合軍は宮内省を宮内府、宮内庁へと次々と降格させ、また皇室典範を日本国憲法下の一般法の一つとして位置づけなおした。
English: Furthermore, they thoroughly 'amended' the contents of Imperial Household Law, and they also abolished all the Imperial Household Orders which were established before the war, including the Koshitsu Saishi Rei.
Japanese: また、皇室典範の内容を全面的に「改正」すると共に、皇室祭祀令等戦前の皇室令を全て廃止した。
English: When the former Imperial Household Orders were abolished, the Imperial Household Agency issued an internal notification in order to ensure that issues that lost explicit provisions after the war would be enforced according to the former Imperial Household Orders.
Japanese: 旧皇室令が廃止された際、宮内庁は内部通牒を出し、戦後明文の規定がなくなった事項についても旧皇室令に準じて実施することを確認している。
English: The Constitution of Japan and laws established under the constitution, however, do not have any explicit provisions about the Court rituals, and the budget for the Court rituals is included in the budgeted allowance for the private expenses of the Imperial Family.
Japanese: しかし、日本国憲法やその下の法律に宮中祭祀についての明文の規定はなく、また、これに係る予算も皇室の内廷費によって処理されている。
English: Therefore many constitutional scholars interpreted the postwar Court rituals as the Emperor's private rituals.
Japanese: このため、多くの憲法学者が、戦後の宮中祭祀を「天皇が私的に執り行う儀式」と解釈するようになった。
English: However, it is comfirmed that the heads of the three powers (legislative, executive and judicial) such as the prime minister have attended some rituals, mainly taisai.
Japanese: だが、内閣総理大臣など三権の長が大祭を中心に一部の祭祀に陪席していることが確認されている。

Japanese: 佐藤栄作は首相在任期間中、春季皇霊祭・春季神殿祭、秋季皇霊祭・秋季神殿祭、新嘗祭にほとんど出席した。
English: The NHK TV program 'Emperor as a Symbol, the Record of the Real Emperor,' which was aired on April 10, 2009, included a scene in which the heads of the three powers such as Prime Minister Taro ASO attended the Spring Korei-sai Festival and the Spring Shinden-sai Festival.
Japanese: NHKスペシャル「象徴天皇素顔の記録」（2009年4月10日放送）では、麻生太郎首相ほか三権の長が春季皇霊祭・春季神殿祭に出席している映像が放映されている。
English: In the academic society of constitutional studies, some conservative scholars regard the 'inside of the Imperial Court' as a public organization like the prewar 'Imperial Court' because of the perspective that there is no personal affairs in the Imperial Household, and they also strongly believe that the Court rituals are 'public rituals at the inside of the Imperial Court.'
Japanese: 憲法学界にも、「皇室に私なし」とする立場から、「内廷」を戦前の「宮中」のような公的な存在ととらえ、宮中祭祀を「内廷の公的な祭祀」とする考え方が、保守系の学者を中心に根強く存在している。
English: After the Court rituals were institutionalized, both Emperor Meiji and Emperor Taisho were not so interested in them, and chamberlains usually worshipped on behalf of the Emperor.
Japanese: 制度としての宮中祭祀が確立して以降の天皇では明治天皇や大正天皇はあまり熱心ではなく、侍従らが代拝するのが主であった。
English: Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko are also interested in them, and they attend most Court rituals without asking someone to worship on behalf of them, apart from a period that they are sick or in mourning.
Japanese: 明仁・皇后美智子も非常に熱心であり諒闇（服喪中）や病気を除くとほとんどの宮中祭祀に代拝を立てず自ら出席している。
English: It is said that as a ritual approached, Emperor Showa intentionally sat in the seiza style for a long time, for example when he watched TV, and the present Empeor does the same thing.
Japanese: 昭和天皇、今上天皇は祭祀が近づくと、正座してテレビを視聴するなど、意識的に長時間正座することを心がけているという。
English: Since a ritual imposes a heavy burden on the emperor, plans of simplification and modification of rituals have been sometimes made and implemented for some purposes; for example, it had been done between 1965 and 1985 to reduce the Emperor Showa's work in consideration of his age, and it was done in 2009 to reduce the present Emperor's work, taking his health condition into consideration.
Japanese: 祭祀を行う天皇の負担が大きいため、昭和40年代から50年代には昭和天皇の高齢化による負担軽減のため、2009年には今上天皇の健康への配慮、負担軽減のため、祭祀の簡略化や調整が計画、実施されている。

English: There is a theory that he was the fourth-generation descendant of Imperial Prince Iyo, the third prince of Emperor Kanmu, but this theory lacks credibility because it is based on a family tree made during the Meiji period.
Japanese: 桓武天皇の第3皇子伊予親王の四世子孫という説があるが、明治時代に作られた系図によるもので信用できない。
