Under the present Constitution of Japan, the Emperor is "the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people".

For example, Prince Shotoku was also known as Prince Umayado and Prince Kamitsumiya.

Nichiren's original name was Zennichi and his Dharma names were Zenshobo Rencho and Rissho Daishi. Similarly, the tradition of various Dharma names was also used by Zen monks, who also used art to ...
