Imperial Rescript on Education

The Rescript requested of the people that "furthermore advance public good and promote common interests; always respect the Constitution and observe the laws; should emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the State; and thus guard and maintain the prosperity of Our Imperial Throne coeval with heaven and earth".

After that, the Rescript was used in many ways by Japanese fascism during peak of the era of Japanese expansionism. Moreover after the World War II, the Imperial Rescript on Education was abolished by both Houses of Diet of Japan on June 19, 1948.
