Imperial Party

Japanese: 帝政党 - ていせいとう

A pro-government political party formed in 1882 by Fukuchi Genichiro, Maruyama Sakura and others to oppose the Liberal Party and the Progressive Party. Officially known as the Constitutional Imperial Party, it advocated the Imperial Constitution and sovereignty of the Emperor, and operated with the government's approval. Its supporters were conservative classes such as samurai, Shinto priests, Buddhist monks and Chinese classical literature scholars. The party was dissolved in 1883 because the government took a transcendentalist stance that rejected political parties even under a constitutional government.

1882年福地源一郎，丸山作楽(さくら)らが自由党・改進党に対抗して作った政府系政党。正式には立憲帝政党。欽定(きんてい)憲法・主権在君をうたい，政府の承認のもとで活動した。支持層は士族，神官，僧侶，国漢学者などの保守的階層。政府が立憲政治下でも政党を否定する超然主義的態度をとったため1883年解党。
