The title of 'Ten-no' whose usage dates back to 7th century was not a common word in the medieval age, but it revived in Edo period. One of its resources was the narrative of national history at that time, especially 'Honcho Tsugan' written in classical Chinese, that was edited before Mito school's well-known 'Dai Nihon shi'. This movement was involved with so to speak 'premature' secularization partly provoked by the Confucianist criticism to Buddhism. The political regime began to be interpreted by Confucianist history, not by religion any longer, that was beyond the assumption of Tokugawa government.
I dare compare this Japanese secularization with European one, though I know they are not just the same concept. The new government of modern Japan anachronically aspired to establish the emperor's supreme authority after Japanese way of secularization in early modern period, while in UK the royal prerogative was already limited before the English secularization.
