Taisho period

Japanese: 大正時代 - たいしょうじだい

Generally, it refers to the reign of Emperor Taisho (1912-26), but historically it refers to the period from 1905, when a nationwide popular movement broke out against the peace treaty of the Russo-Japanese War, which criticized clan-based bureaucratic politics, to 1925, when the political reforms of the Kato Takaaki cabinet, which was formed as a result of the second constitutional protection movement, were carried out and a party political system was established. The period was characterized by the progress of democratization known as Taisho Democracy in the political, social and cultural fields, against the backdrop of the rapid growth of capitalism which resulted in the establishment of monopoly capitalism, and the political advancement of the middle class and the proletariat (workers and farmers).

Japanese:

一般的には大正天皇の在位期間(1912‐26)をいうが，歴史学的にいえば，藩閥官僚政治を批判する日露戦争講和反対の全国的民衆運動の発生した1905年から，第2次護憲運動の結果成立した加藤高明内閣の政治諸改革が行われ，政党政治体制の確立した1925年までを指す。独占資本主義の確立に帰結する資本主義の急成長，中間層および無産階級(労働者，農民)の政治的進出を背景に，政治，社会，文化の各分野において大正デモクラシーと呼ばれる民主化が進行したことが時代の特徴をなす。
