About This Book
The authors reconstruct the final months of the imperial family after the emperor’s abdication using judicial depositions, eyewitness statements, and contemporary documents gathered during a post-occupation investigation. The narrative follows their constrained daily life in domestic confinement, describing routines, lessons, meals, household staff, and interactions with guards, while presenting varied testimony from servants, officers, and officials. It records the transfer of custody, the circumstances surrounding their execution by local revolutionary authorities, and the subsequent inquiries that collected and preserved witness accounts. The account emphasizes factual reconstruction and presents conflicting perspectives and differing degrees of eyewitness reliability.
