In this essay ; the author intends to extract some characteristic features of the monarchy in ancient Japan through a careful survey of how the title 'Dajotenno' was awarded. His conclusions are as follows. (1)The Emperor's children held the title Shinno or Naishinno by nature. However, the Sinno-senge system was formed so that the Emperor awarded titles to some of his children, while giving surnames to others and excluding them from royalty. The formalities were gradually established from the beginning of the 9th century and reorganized the royal family members's order with a view to raising the position of the Emperor. (2)The Songo-senge system, in which the Emperor awarded the title 'Dajotenno' to the ex-Emperor, came into being, and was assured in the same period with the same object to the Sinno-senge system. Formerly the ex-Emperor held the title 'Dajotenno' unconditionally, but now had to be awarded by the new Emperor. (3)The system of the ex-Emperor had been instituted at the beginning of the 8th century on the basis of Japanese monarchical government before the 7th century. The position of the ex-Emperor was quite different from the position in China. The title 'Ta'i-shang-huang-ti' given to the ex-Emperor in China, corresponded to 'Dajotenno' in Japan and was generally awarded by aristocrats or the Emperor, or the ex-Emperor just assumed the title himself. The songo-senge system in Japan had its origin in such Chinese political customs and unified the power of the monarch.
