A AN ERA of nation-building in Japan, the 1870s and 1880s witnessed the creation of institutions rich in both quantity and variety. Among these, institutions possessing a national focus, such as the Imperial Diet, have been the subject of numerous studies; while those with a more local orientation, such as the prefectural assemblies, have received considerably less attention.
