According to our belief, Japan was founded by the Sun Goddess Amaterasu Omikami, who is revered by the entire nation for her all-pervading virtue, and from whom our Imperial House is descended.

If we have a thousand bamboo spears, there's nothing to worry about a war with the Soviet Union.

The foundations of our Empire are now based more firmly than ever! The birth of a Crown Prince shows that the prosperity of the Imperial Household is increasing many times.

A war minister is able to force the adoption of any measure desired by the Camp or to block any measure that meets his disapproval.

The spirit of the Japanese nation is, by its nature, a thing that must be propagated over the seven seas and extended over the five continents. Anything that may hinder its progress must be abolished, even by force.

We have no hesitation in declaring that we are a military nation- in the cause of Kodo and the highest morality.

It is Japan's mission to be supreme in Asia, the South Seas and eventually the four corners of the world.
