In the context of Silken Painting of Emperor Go-Daigo, explain the A Different Kind of Royalty of the Kingship theory.
In the 1960s, Japanese historian Shin'ichi Sato regarded Emperor Go-Daigo as an idealistic despot who aimed for "imperial universalism" (a system in which everything is decided by the emperor's private decrees) and a Song dynasty emperor-type dictatorship . and his ideals were frustrated by the establishment of the Miscellaneous Appeals Tribunal, which limited the power of the emperor,  and the Kenmu regime of Godaigo was viewed negatively as a regime that left nothing for posterity, which quickly collapsed due to a series of reckless policies Sato's theory of a dictatorial monarch was developed by folk studies and Japanese historian Yoshihiko Amino in his book "Variant forms of kingship" (1986) . Amino likened Emperor Godaigo to Adolf Hitler and called him a "deformed" emperor . Amino also called Go-Daigo's beloved priest, Bunkan, a "deformed" priest and regarded him as a martial demon monk . Fumikan used unusual prayers and spells, and in his capacity as a Shingon Risshu, he commanded an unorthodox army consisting of the lower classes of the time, and contributed to the defeat of Go-Daigo. Amino partially admits that Go-Daigo's grandfather, Emperor Kameyama, and his father, Emperor Go-Uda, were also active in the promotion of esoteric Buddhism, and that Go-Daigo's devotion to esoteric Buddhism was partly due to his father's influence. On the other hand, he says that Go-Uta's practice was orthodox, while Go-Daigo's practice was heretical in opposition to his father's, and that the emperor himself prayed for the surrender of the shogunate .Amino interpreted this work as a symbolic image of Go-Daigo's deformity, depicting the emperor wearing a Buddhist uniform and praying to curse the samurai government. Regarding the prayer method, he pointed out that the prayer performed by Go-Daigo in the first year of Gentoku (1329) was the "Shoten-su" (Great Sage Joyous Heaven bath oil offering), and that the Great Sage Joyous Heaven was represented by a statue of a man and a woman embracing a human head. . And he said, "To put it another way, it may be said that Godaigo here was trying to make the power of the deepest nature of human beings - sex itself - the power of his own royal authority. , and this is the emperor who is suitable for the king who is the center of "different kinds of different forms".
Later, in 1993, the painting historian Kuroda Hideo conducted a detailed analysis of this work, and pointed out that it was not a figure that prayed or cursed, but was seen as a symbol of the unification of royal law, Buddhism, and Shintoism . On the other hand, as for the stance of evaluation, he followed the Amino theory and regarded the figure as "deformed" .
