Under the rule of an emperor [on hold]
I'm writing a story about a girl who grew up during 1930's in Japan, and when the war started her father had to smuggle them out. I wanted to make a note about her fathers view of the emperors ruling ability but I didn't know how to phrase it.
I wanted to say under "emporial" rule like other countries were under British "imperial" rule but that clearly didn't sound right.
Is there a word for what I'm trying to say or am I going to have to explain it in a longer form? Do they have a name for it in Japanese?

It might help if you explained better the sense you're looking for. Do you mean simply "during the reign of the emperor", "under the dominion of the emperor", somehow under the "dark cloud" created by the emperor, or something else.

@HotLicks Absolutely, that seems reasonable. I'm going for a "he feels oppressed and ashamed of his government" feel but in the 1930's and 40's that wouldn't have been "healthy" thing as their emperor was viewed as a god. I imagine it might be similar to how a refugee from Syria would feel. As though their government had betrayed them and the only option they saw was to flee.

You can say that his father had certain views about his country's emperorship (look at the example sentences at the link).
