Cabinet Of Japan
The Cabinet (内閣, Naikaku?) of Japan is the executive branch of the government of Japan. It consists of the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the Emperor after being designated by the Diet, and up to fourteen other members, called Ministers of State. The Prime Minister is designated by the Diet, and the remaining ministers are appointed and dismissed by the Prime Minister. The Cabinet is collectively responsible to the Diet and must resign if a motion of no confidence is adopted by the House of Representatives.
The modern Japanese Cabinet was established under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan of 1889-1946. This previous cabinet was nominally subordinate to the Emperor, but actually, the Emperor doesn't have real power. At postwar, it was reformed by Constitution of Japan which came into effect in 1947.
