Shōwa restoration
Historical term for the 1930s militarist call for Imperial restoration, modeled after the Meiji Restoration. Used in discussions of prewar Japanese politics.
The Shōwa restoration was a slogan of the 1930s military-led national reform movement.
The Meiji Restoration (1868) was the actual imperial restoration that ended the shogunate; 昭和維新 was a later ideological call modeled after it.
Compound of 昭和 (Shōwa era) and 維新 (restoration), directly referencing the Meiji Restoration (明治維新) as a model for radical political change.
