In most other constitutional monarchies, the monarch is at least nominal chief executive, while being bound by convention to act on the advice of the cabinet. In contrast, the Constitution of Japan explicitly vests executive power in the Cabinet, of which the prime minister is the leader; this greatly enhances the prime minister's position compared to prime ministers in other parliamentary democracies. His countersignature is required for all laws and Cabinet orders. While most ministers in parliamentary democracies have some freedom of action within the bounds of <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_collective_responsibility" title="Cabinet collective responsibility">cabinet collective responsibility</a>, the Japanese Cabinet is effectively an extension of the prime minister's authority. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Insignia">Insignia</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Japan&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Insignia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;

Murayama</a> and <a href="/wiki/Morihiro_Hosokawa" title="Morihiro Hosokawa">Morihiro Hosokawa</a>.</div></div></div></div> <p>Until the mid-1930s, the prime minister of Japan was normally granted a hereditary <a href="/wiki/Peerage" title="Peerage">peerage</a> (<i><a href="/wiki/Kazoku" title="Kazoku">kazoku</a></i>) prior to leaving office if he had not already been ennobled. Titles were usually bestowed in the ranks of <a href="/wiki/Count" title="Count">count</a>, <a href="/wiki/Viscount" title="Viscount">viscount</a> or <a href="/wiki/Baron" title="Baron">baron</a>, depending on the relative accomplishments and status of the prime minister. The two highest ranks, <a href="/wiki/Marquess" title="Marquess">marquess</a> and <a href="/wiki/Prince" title="Prince">prince</a>, were only bestowed upon highly distinguished statesmen, and were not granted to a prime minister after 1928. The last prime minister who was a peer was Baron <a href="/wiki/Kij%C5%ABr%C5%8D_Shidehara" title="Kijūrō Shidehara">Kijūrō Shidehara</a>, who served as Prime Minister from October 1945 to May 1946. The peerage was abolished when the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Japan" title="Constitution of Japan">Constitution of Japan</a> came into effect in May 1947. </p><p>Certain eminent prime ministers have been awarded the <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Chrysanthemum" title="Order of the Chrysanthemum">Order of the Chrysanthemum</a>, typically in the degree of Grand Cordon. The highest honour in the Japanese honours system, the Collar of the Order of the Chrysanthemum, has only been conferred upon select prime ministers and eminent statesmen; the last such award to a living prime minister was to <a href="/wiki/Saionji_Kinmochi" title="Saionji Kinmochi">Saionji Kinmochi</a> in 1928. More often, the Order of the Chrysanthemum has been a posthumous distinction; both the Collar and Grand Cordon of the order were last awarded posthumously to former prime minister <a href="/wiki/Shinzo_Abe" title="Shinzo Abe">Shinzo Abe</a> in July 2022.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After relinquishing office, the prime minister is normally accorded the second or senior third rank in the court order of precedence, and is usually raised to the senior second rank posthumously. Certain distinguished prime ministers have been posthumously raised to the first rank; the last such award was to Eisaku Sato in 1975. Since the 1920s, following their tenure in office, Prime ministers have typically been conferred with the Grand Cordon of the <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Paulownia_Flowers" title="Order of the Paulownia Flowers">Order of the Paulownia Flowers</a> (until 2003 a special higher class of the Order of the Rising Sun), depending on tenure and eminence. However, honours may be withheld due to misconduct or refusal on the part of the prime minister (for example, <a href="/wiki/Kiichi_Miyazawa" title="Kiichi Miyazawa">Kiichi Miyazawa</a>). </p><p>The Prime Minister also awards individuals in recognition of their accomplishments in sport, entertainment, and other fields. Some of the awards and commendations offered include the Prime Minister's Award, created by Eisaku Satō in 1966, and the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Honour_Award" title="People's Honour Award">People's Honour Award</a>, created by Takeo Fukuda in 1977. Additionally, the PM also presents the <a href="/wiki/Japan_Professional_Sports_Grand_Prize" title="Japan Professional Sports Grand Prize">Prime Minister's Trophy</a> on behalf of the Japan Professional Sports Association and the Monodzukuri Nippon award on behalf of the Japanese Manufacturing Association. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Japan&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/List_of_prime_ministers_of_Japan" title="List of prime ministers of Japan">List of prime ministers of Japan</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_spouses_of_prime_ministers_of_Japan" title="List of spouses of prime ministers of Japan">List of spouses of prime ministers of Japan</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Air_transports_of_heads_of_state_and_government#Japan" title="Air transports of heads of state and government">Air transports of heads of state and government</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Official_state_car#Japan" title="Official state car">Official state car</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Japanese_Air_Force_One" title="Japanese Air Force One">Japanese Air Force One</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Japan&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-lower-alpha"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">The Cabinet shall resign en masse after a general election of members of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Representatives_(Japan)" title="House of Representatives (Japan)">House of Representatives</a>.
