Rikken Kaishintō
The was a political party in Empire of Japan. It was also known as simply the Kaishintō. The Kaishintō was founded by Ōkuma Shigenobu on 16 April 1882, with the assistance of Yano Ryūsuke, Inukai Tsuyoshi and Ozaki Yukio. It received financial backing by the Mitsubishi ''zaibatsu,'' and had strong support from the Japanese press, and urban intellectuals. The ''Kaishintō'' pursued a moderate approach, calling for a British-style constitutional monarchy within the framework of a parliamentary democracy. In a speech Ōkuma gave at the inauguration of the party, he emphasized the symbolic role of the monarch in the type of government he envisioned. He also argued that those extremists who supported having the emperor directly involved in political decision-making were in fact endangering the very existence of the Imperial institution.Keene, ''Emperor Of Japan: Meiji And His World, 1852–1912'', pp. 365 In the first General Election of 1890, the ''Kaishintō'' won 46 sea ...

The House of Representatives has 465 members, elected for a four-year term.
