(2)The use of public schools for teaching the divinity of the imperial line and for inculcating a sense of blind devotion to the Emperor should not be permitted, statements or implications of the divine origin of the imperial line or the divinity of the Emperor should be eliminated from textbooks, Shinto Shrines housing portraits of the Emperor should be banned from public school property, enforced obeisance to the Emperor or to his picture should not be permitted, and there should be no special ceremonial connected with the handling of the imperial rescript on education, if it is still read in schools. (3)Extreme measures to keep the person of the Emperor mysteriously distant from the public and veiled in awesome secrecy should be abandoned.
b.A monarchical form of government in Japan, if so modified as to be a peaceful and responsible constitutional monarchy, would be consistent with American objectives in Japan. Since the creation of such a constitutional monarchy appears to have the support of the vast majority of Japanese, the Supreme Commander should give aid to Japanese efforts to transform the imperial institution in Japan into a constitutional monarchy.
Religion and the Japanese Constitution Helen Hardacre Reischauer Institute Professor of Japanese Religions and Society Harvard University https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/crrp/files/hardacre_religionandconstitution.pdf The report concluded with several specific recommendations for severing the relation between the state and Shinto and for eliminating it from the schools: complete severing of the shrines from public support; treatment of Shinto as a religion; elimination of government control or direction of the shrines, placing Shinto on an equal footing with other religions; elimination of the Shrine Institute (Jingiin), the bureaucratic office created in 1940 to deal with shrine affairs; removal of all Shinto elements from public schools, including nationalist interpretations of the Imperial Rescript on Education; removal of Shinto altars (kamidana) from schools and public offices; and abolition of compulsory school trips to shrines. The report further recommended that the emperor be prevailed upon to issue a rescript repudiating all notions of Japanese superiority and the idea that Japan has a mission to rule in Asia.

U.S.-JAPAN SCORECARD By Lewis M. Simons Monday, Apr. 22, 1996 LAST FRIDAY, A FEW DAYS BEFORE HE LEFT FOR A STATE visit to Tokyo, President Clinton walked outside the White House for a photo op he was clearly looking forward to. Accompanied by Mickey Kantor, the tough-talking Trade Representative who later that day would be nominated to succeed Ron Brown as Secretary of Commerce, Clinton viewed a new Chrysler Neon, Ford Taurus and GM Cavalier--all equipped with right-hand steering wheels for sale in Japan. "Just four years ago," said Clinton, "if you had told me that I would see it, I'm not sure I would have believed it--right-hand-drive American models made...
THE FAILED MIRACLE RARELY HAS A COUNTRY FALLEN SO FAR SO FAST AS JAPAN HAS IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS. WHAT WENT WRONG? By Edward W. Desmond/Tokyo Monday, Apr. 22, 1996 Five years ago, Japan could look back on three decades of extraordinary accomplishment. Its economy had grown an average of 6.5% a year. By the 1980s, it had come to dominate the market for consumer electronics and semiconductors, and claimed the best automakers in the world. In the U.S., Japanese companies seemed to be buying everything in sight, from Rockefeller Center to Universal Studios.
