Meiji the Great

I watched a brilliant film today, produced by Russian director Aleksandr Sokurov - "Solntse". The main character, Japan's emperor Hirohito, recites the following poem over and over..

Across the four seas, all are brothers.
In such a world why do the waves rage, the winds roar?

Meiji the Great
122nd Emperor of Japan
