Itō Hirobumi

主導機能+Te-p (Practicality & Economy)

Spending 18 months studying German and Austrian constitutional systems first-hand — judging empirically that "the Prussian model functions for Japan" — before adopting it. The sole criterion: "does it function?" Rejecting the British and French models as incompatible with Japan's conditions.

創造機能-Ni-c (Warning & Divergence)

"If Japan does not catch up with the Western powers, she will be colonised" — the collapse-anticipation at the core of his motivation for participating in the Meiji Restoration. "Parliamentary politics cannot function under a transcendent cabinet" — the structural foresight that led him to found a political party.

脆弱機能1+Si-p weak (Comfort & Wellbeing)

Weak +Si-p (Comfort & Wellbeing): "From rough peasant's son to first Prime Minister" — consistent indifference to physical comfort and personal luxury throughout. The record of women is interpreted as -Se-p action (display of social prestige and presence) rather than sensory pleasure.

脆弱機能2-Fe-c weak (Harmony & Emotion)

Weak -Fe-c (Harmony & Emotion): telling a subordinate calmly, "If you stop behaving like a loyal vassal, you could become Foreign Minister" — prioritising functional rationality over emotional loyalty as the typical action.

クアドラ・気質・クラブ

クアドラ: Anti-Alpha Quadra (Meritocracy) — designing and establishing the peerage system himself — institutionalising ability-based aristocracy. "Party politicians cannot deal with national interest objectively" — explicitly meritocratic elite governance.

気質: Linear-Assertive temperament: upon returning from his European survey, declaring "Japan will adopt a Prussian-style constitution" and immediately implementing it. A consistent pattern of declaring direction first, then building the institution.

クラブ: Researcher Club: comparing multiple nations' constitutional systems empirically and selecting the optimal model. English-language engagement with foreign media as a "practical tool for intelligence-gathering."

世界観・変化への態度

"Ideology is less important than institutions that function" — pragmatic conviction. A worldview that sees structural dangers acutely and trusts institutional design as the only reliable response.

変化への態度: Executing the Meiji Constitution as a precisely engineered, realistic plan — the institutional designer of modern Japan, built for gradual, failure-resistant modernisation.
