Fonndatton of Japan,
Every Feb. 11 Is celebrated In Japan
the great annual festival of Elgensetso,
the anniversary of the foundation of
the empire by the first emperor, JImmn-
tenno, B. C. 660. The Japanese reckon
their present era as from this date, and
it was on Feb. 11, 1889, that Mutsuhlto,
the one hundred and twenty-first of
the dynasty, promulgated the present
constitution of the Empire of Japan,
the fundamental principle of which Is
clearly stated In Its first article. The
Empire of Japan shall be reigned over
and governed by a line of emperors un
broken from ages eternal." The organ
isation of a parliament took place in
1S90, which in the Japanese reckoning
would be 2,550 from Jlmnra'a setting up
his capital at Klshlwara, In the prov
ince of Yamato, which la regarded by
Japanese historians as the beginning of
the empire.
