Have they ever met ?
L' imperatore del Giappone si considerava di natura divina. Avrebbe potuto incontrare due comuni mortali per i quali non aveva nemmeno molta stima? Hitler considerava i giapponesi appartenenti ad una razza inferiore. Aveva senso un suo incontro con Hirohito?
The Emperor of Japan considered himself to be divine in nature. Could he have met two ordinary mortals for whom he didn't even have much respect? Hitler considered the Japanese to be an inferior race. Could he meet Hirohito?
I guess your hitting a point. Just because They were allies doesn't mean they see each other as equal partners. Maybe thats the reason they never met. Very interesting fact here thanksThe relationship between Hitler and Mussolini was very complex. Hirohito never had direct contact with the two dictators. It is difficult for us Europeans to understand the sacredness of the imperial figure in the Japan of those times.

Hitler incontrava Antonescu qualche volta, ma non so se Mussolini era anche li. A Vienna fu una conferenza tedesca-italiana-rumena, pero il membro italiano era il conte Ciano.
Antonescu e Mussolini si incontrarono a Roma nel 1940Invece incontrarono il dittatore rumeno Antonescu ?I guess your hitting a point.

No, they have never met with Hirohito. The Meiji Constitution declared Hirohito “sacred and inviolable” and “free from all worldly responsibilities.” That's some title Adolf Hitler or Mussolini could only dream of. The Japanese believed he was a god in human form (arabitogami) and was declared the nation’s High Shinto Priest. They also believed Hirohito was a “Tathagata [fully enlightened being] of the secular world.” On the other hand, before ascending the chrysanthemum throne in 1926, In 1937 Yasuhito, Prince Chichibu, brother of Hirohito, met Adolf Hitler personally.
Japan had been effectively run by the army since the early 1930s and it was effectively a military dictatorship. On the contrary with the public mythology was that he was an all-powerful monarch, soldiers and high government officials actually wielded power in his name. That is why, in December 1940, three months after Japan, Germany and Italy signed their “Tripartite Pact” World War II alliance, a convoy of Japanese military leaders headed for Berlin to learn from their new allies. At the head of the group was General Tomoyuki Yamashita. Meanwhile there was a great struggle in Japanese military between Hokushin-ron (to the north) and Nanshin-ron (to the south) supporters. We can see names such as Hiroshi Ōshima, Hideki Tōjō pretty often in the politicial sphere. They were the headfigures for two fractions in the Japanese army.
To cut it short, Japan was an absolute military dictatorship. Hirohito was not an active figure in foreign policies and affairs. He was an ordinary one with high titles and ranks but Hitler and Mussolini were absolute powers with lower titles and ranks though.
