The Kuroda cabinet ( Japanese 黒 田 内閣 , Kuroda naikaku ) ruled Japan from April 30, 1888 to December 24, 1889. It was under the leadership of Prime Minister Lieutenant General Count Kuroda Kiyotaka until October 25, 1889 , after which Prince Sanjō Sanetomi took over as executive prime minister. Because of his relatively long term in office, Sanjō's executive cabinet is sometimes also viewed as an independent transitional cabinet Sanjō ( 三条 暫定 内閣 Sanjō zantei naikaku ).

On February 11, 1889, the day the Meiji constitution was proclaimed , Minister of Culture Mori Arinori was attacked with a knife by an ultra-nationalist and died the following day.
