| Since the Japanese word 'Koshaku' is formally translated as Prince rather than Duke, Fumimaro KONOE, a statesman in the Showa Period, is sometimes mistakenly considered to be a member of the Imperial Family in Western documents. |
なお、日本の「公爵」の公式英訳にはdukeではなくprinceが当てられるがこのため昭和期の政治家の近衛文麿が欧米圏の文献で皇族と誤解されるような場合がある。 |
